WINTER IS COMING

As Mike goes through his annual water meter

 inspections, replacements and upgrades, he is noticing a lot of folks who are not adequately prepared for winter and its cold temperatures. To avoid your water lines freezing and keep your home as winter-proof as possible, please ensure the following:

  • Check your heat tape is correctly installed, plugged in and WORKING.
  • Make sure your skirting is buttoned up as tightly as possible, to insulate the underside of the home and save money as well as limit water freezing issues.
  • Try to run a faucet in every part of the home for a short while regularly – still water has by far the biggest chance of freezing over.
  • Disconnect and drain out your outside faucet (“hose bib”) – these are notorious for being left unattended and bursting.

Good luck this Winter! Liability issues prevent us from being as helpful as we’d sometimes like to be, but if there’s anything we can do please get in touch.
