How to Protect Your Plumbing System From Cold Weather Damage

Winter is rolling in and everyone is preparing for the cold season. People are bringing in wood for the fireplaces, putting out trees and decorating and buying food for extravagant holiday dinners. Too often, though, they forget an important part of preparing for the season - calling in a plumber from Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service! As someone who grew up in Florida, I can understand forgetting to protect the plumbing during winter months. It's important to take action as soon as possible because winter weather can be a disaster for your plumbing.

 

There are a number of ways the cold weather can hurt your plumbing system. A plumber can help you prevent any disasters during this season that's supposed to be about relaxation and celebration! They can thoroughly inspect your system to catch any potential problems before they happen.

 

You may be unaware of the mess the cold weather can make for your plumbing. One possible disaster would be the freezing of your pipes. When the weather outside dips to below freezing, the water in your pipes can freeze. When water freezes, it expands. This can cause your pipes to burst and may result in serious water damage. At the least, your plumbing system will be screwed up for a few days while you call in a plumber to repair the damage, losing much needed cash.

 

Another thing that can happen to your pipes is clogging. Again, any liquids in your pipes may freeze, including water, grease and various gunk. This makes it difficult for all of the fluids to slide through your pipes and before you know it, your whole system is clogged up. This may be fixed with a strong drain clog remover but if that doesn't work, once again your stuck with a messed up plumbing system and will have to pay extra money to get your system fixed.

 

Calling in the plumber should be an important part of your winter preparations. Enjoy the cold weather and all of the wonderful things that come with it but don't forget about the possible damage to your plumbing systems. It's much cheaper and easier to call a plumber in before any damage happens rather than after. They can help you take preventative measures to make sure your system runs smoothly throughout the winter season!
