Winter Plumbing Safety Tips for Your Home

Winter is here, and with it comes the risk of frozen pipes. Nobody wants the hassle of dealing with burst pipes in freezing temperatures, and fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to avoid it. At Pipers Plumbing, our expertise in residential plumbing and annual inspections highlights the importance of winter-prepping your home's pipes.

Make sure to let your faucets drip to keep water flowing and minimize freezing risk. Insulating your pipes is a great way to retain heat, especially in unheated areas like attics or garages. Open your cabinet doors to let the warm air circulate, warming up the pipes beneath them.

Keeping your home well-heated is crucial, particularly on freezing nights. And don't forget about those hose bibs – covering them can prevent outside pipes from freezing as temperatures drop.

We proudly serve Chattanooga, Hixson, Red Bank, and the wider north Georgia region, ensuring your home is prepared for the cold. Remember, a little prevention goes a long way toward avoiding plumbing mishaps this winter!
