How to Prepare<\/h2>\n

Here are a few tips that will help you prepare your plumbing for winter in Medford:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fix Those Leaks<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve been dealing with a leak in your home for a while. It\u2019s just a small drip, but you definitely have a leak in your pipe. You\u2019ve patched it up and tried to keep it moving, but it just keeps rearing its ugly head again and again. You need to address this problem as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

This is an issue that only has the potential to get worse as the weather conditions get cooler. If your pipes freeze, the water turning to ice will expand and then later contract when it\u00a0warms back\u00a0up to a liquid state. This is going to make holes or cracks in your pipes bigger and subsequently make your leaks worse.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Insulate Your Pipes<\/h3>\n

Have you had problems with certain pipes in your home freezing? Do you have pipes in high-risk areas of your home like your garage, attics, or crawlspaces? This is a good place to start insulating.<\/p>\n

Pipe insulation is cheap and abundant. You can run out to your local hardware store right now and find exactly what you need. Insulating your pipes will save you a lot of time, money, and effort this winter.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Winterize Everything Outdoors<\/h3>\n

Make sure that you drain your outdoor water hoses this winter. Don’t stop there! detach them from the spigots and store them in the garage before the temperatures get really cold.\u00a0By doing this you can save yourself some grief this winter season.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get Your Water Heater Ready<\/h3>\n

Have you noticed that your water heater isn\u2019t working the same way? You might need to have a professional flush your water heater to remove any sedimentary build-up. You\u2019re going to rely on your water heater more often this winter. Imagine taking a cold shower in Medford in December\u2014it\u2019s not very enticing.
