Stay Safe This Winter: Essential Plumbing Tips for North York Homeowners

As the temperatures drop, the risk of frozen pipes and burst water lines increases. To ensure your North York home remains safe and secure this winter, follow these essential plumbing tips from Plumber 911.

Tip 1: Insulate Exposed Pipes

Exposed pipes in unheated areas like the garage, basement, or crawlspace are more susceptible to freezing. Insulate these pipes with foam pipe insulation or heat tape to prevent damage.

Tip 2: Let Cold Water Drip

Allowing cold water to drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes can help prevent pipes from freezing. Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate and help prevent pipes from freezing.

Tip 3: Disconnect and Drain Hoses

Disconnect and drain hoses from outdoor faucets to prevent freezing and bursting. Store hoses in a protected area during the winter months.

Tip 4: Seal Drafts and Leaks

Seal any drafts or leaks around windows, doors, and other openings to prevent cold air from entering your home. This will help keep your pipes warm and reduce the risk of freezing.

Tip 5: Know Where Your Shut-Off Valves Are

Know the location of your main shut-off valve and have a plan in place in case of an emergency. This will help you quickly turn off the water supply to prevent further damage.

Tip 6: Consider Installing Frozen Pipe Protection

Consider installing frozen pipe protection devices, such as thermostatically controlled heat cables, to help prevent pipes from freezing.
