As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, homeowners in the South Shore area start thinking about preparing their homes for the colder months ahead. One aspect that often gets overlooked is plumbing. In this guide, we'll walk you through essential steps to prepare your home's plumbing for the fall season, ensuring a smooth transition into winter.

Why Prepare Your Plumbing for Fall?

Avoid Frozen Pipes: As temperatures drop, the risk of pipes freezing and bursting increases.

Energy Efficiency: Properly insulated pipes can help reduce your energy bills.

Preventive Maintenance: Catching minor issues before they become major problems can save you money in the long run.

Steps to Prepare Your Plumbing for Fall

Insulate Pipes
Use foam pipe insulation to cover exposed pipes in unheated areas like the garage or crawl spaces.

Check for Leaks
Inspect faucets, showerheads, and pipe joints for any signs of dripping or leaking.

Drain Outdoor Faucets
Disconnect garden hoses and drain water from outdoor faucets to prevent freezing.

Test the Sump Pump
Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to ensure it's working correctly.

Inspect the Water Heater
Fall is a great time to flush your water heater and check for any signs of corrosion or leaks.
