Cold Weather Plumbing Tips

1. In order to ensure proper drainage during the winter months, make sure you clear out dead leaves and other debris from your roof gutters and downspouts.

2. Your water heater works hardest during the cold winter months. Therefore, it is important to drain sediment from your water heater tank in order to avoid corrosion and increase energy efficiency.

3. Examine and clean your sump pump. Remove any rocks or other debris from the pit. Test your sump pump by dumping a few buckets of water into the pit.
