Preparing Your Home’s Plumbing for the Fall and Winter

Below are cost saving, fall and winter preparatory tips to do now to prevent many common plumbing issues.

Prepare your pipes for freezing temperatures

It is highly recommended to prepare your pipes for freezing temperatures as fall gets underway. When the temperature drops below freezing there is the potential for your pipes to burst, which can produce quite a mess and be expensive to fix.

To protect against this, be sure to check for any areas of your home that have uninsulated pipes. Common areas that are not insulated include: the outer walls, the garage, and the cellar. You can purchase a plumbing insulation kit from most hardware stores, and it is fairly easy to install on your home.

Make sure your water heater is running properly

Check to make certain your water heater is properly functioning, as it is important for it to work adequately during the fall and winter. Now is a good time to check that no repairs are needed and that the sacrificial anode rod is working correctly.

You can inspect your heater yourself if you have the experience and knowledge or hire one of our professional master plumbers.

Set your water heater temperature at no greater than 120 F to prevent energy waste and scalding.

Call us if you need a plumbing inspection

If you are in need of a plumbing inspection before the winter to prevent your pipes from freezing and/or to have a professional check of your water heater, contact Putman & Sons Plumbing for an appointment. We also have maintenance plans for all seasons to proactively help prevent costly plumbing problems.

Plumbing Maintenance Plans Benefit Homeowners

Putman and Sons Home Maintenance Plans

One of the ways you can protect your home in Southeastern Michigan is by purchasing a plumbing maintenance plan with Putman & Son’s Plumbing, a family business. Plumbing repairs can be an incredibly expensive expenditure for homeowners over time. As your home’s systems age, their need for repair grows. Residential plumbing maintenance plans offer homeowners incredible value in protecting their home’s plumbing while extending the useful lifetime of the system. With regular maintenance you can rest assured knowing the exact condition of the more intricate of your home’s systems.

Many homeowners opt to address issues on a case by case basis, and while this approach works for them in the short term, long-term home ownership demands financial responsibility. By purchasing a plumbing maintenance plan, you protect your home as an investment and ensure long-term system usage. By keeping your plumbing systems well maintained you reduce the long term cost of plumbing maintenance. The second greatest benefit homeowners receive from any maintenance whether it be for their car, their home or any other belonging is the associated peace of mind. Similar to car maintenance, performing regular maintenance on your plumbing system is the only way to know its condition and to predict the need for future repairs.

Putman & Son’s Plumbing offers residential plumbing maintenance plans in addition to our value oriented service offering. With the expertise to handle any plumbing repair, Putman & Son’s Plumbing is a strong partner to have in home ownership.
