MANDEVILLE, LOUISIANA, USA , November 3, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — As winter approaches with rapidity, Brooks Plumbing is offering its expertise and advice to help homeowners protect their plumbing systems from freezing weather. It is crucial for property owners to understand the importance of properly winterizing their plumbing to prevent unnecessary damage and costly repairs.

This winter, homeowners can avoid emergency calls to plumbers due to burst pipes and other cold weather-related plumbing problems. Brooks Plumbing suggests homeowners initiate a thorough plumbing check-up and follow a few easy steps:

1. Drain & Insulate Pipes: Water left in pipes during freezing weather could potentially freeze and cause the pipe to crack or burst. Drain outdoor faucets and insulate pipes located in unheated areas of your home.

2. Install Faucet Covers: Foam covers for outdoor faucets can provide additional protection against freezing conditions by covering and insulating the faucet.

3. Inspect and Service your Water Heater: Ensure your water heater is in good operating condition to avoid sudden hot water outages during cold winter months.

4. Seal Cracks and Leaks: Leaks around pipes that allow cold air to seep in can freeze pipes. Seal any visible cracks or leaks, especially in unheated spaces.

5. Keep your Heat On: Maintaining a minimum temperature of 55 degrees in your home, even when you are not there, can help prevent frozen pipes.

6. Know where the main water shut-off valve is located: If a pipe does freeze and crack, knowing where the main water shut-off valve is located can potentially save significant damage.
