Plumbing that has to survive the winter

Long, cold winters are hard on plumbing. Pipes in outside walls, crawlspaces and garages can freeze and split, and a burst pipe can put a lot of water on the floor before anyone notices.

A few habits go a long way: know where your main shut-off is, keep the heat on when you’re away, open cabinet doors on outside walls in a cold snap, and disconnect garden hoses before the first hard frost.

FAQ

Plumbing questions

What plumbing problems are most common in winter?

Frozen and burst pipes, especially in outside walls, crawlspaces and garages. Keep the heat on, open cabinet doors on outside walls during a cold snap, and disconnect garden hoses in the fall.

How do I find my main water shut-off?

In most homes it’s in the basement or utility room, where the water line comes through the foundation wall, near the water meter on town water or the pressure tank on a well. Find it and test it before you need it.

What should I tell a plumber when I call?

Where you are, what’s happening and when it started, and whether water is actively leaking. Photos help with quote requests. Call 780-779-1481.
