Cherry Hill, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/03/2020 -- Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling Energy Services is currently scheduling appointments for homeowners interested in plumbing services in New Jersey and the surrounding area. Fall maintenance of a house's plumbing is crucial to minimize the risk of plumbing emergencies arising during the winter. Every homeowner should be sure to winterize any outdoor connections, insulate pipes, and ensure that their house's heating system is in good repair before temperatures get too cold.
During the fall, every homeowner needs to start winterizing their outdoor fixtures, water lines, and other plumbing connections to prevent them from freezing. In most cases, this can be as simple as turning off outdoor spigots, removing hoses, and using foam covers to help insulate the connections from the cold. If a homeowner has a sprinkler system, it's essential to make sure that the system is off and has been appropriately treated to help prevent the lines from freezing up.
In addition to preparing the outdoor connections for the winter, every individual must inspect the pipes in their home and use foam covers to help insulate vulnerable pipes. Water pipes in the basement or located in crawl spaces might not get the same amount of heat from the house's heating system and therefore need a little help to keep them from freezing up and bursting. It's also an excellent opportunity to look for drafts in areas like the kitchen, bathroom, and other rooms that may have poor seals and have a lot of plumbing running through them.
Finally, an easy way to help prevent a frozen or burst pipe is to ensure that the house's heating system is in good repair. Part of this means inspecting the water heater for signs of wear and making repairs as needed. Further, every homeowner should try to keep their home's thermostat a few degrees higher to prevent freezing.
