Are Your Exterior Pipes Still Ready for More Winter?

In New England, winter can stick around. Did you prepare your exterior pipes at home for the winter season?

Protect your home from the costly damage caused by frozen pipes.

Protecting your home from the costly damage of frozen pipes.

One vital step is draining exterior hose bibs. If you open up your spigots and then leave water in them, they can freeze if freezing temperatures come back, causing frozen pipes that may burst. 

This preventable frozen pipe disaster could result in water damage and unexpected repair expenses.

Draining your exterior hose bibs should be done every fall and after any use during warmer days in late winter

Disconnect any attached hoses and turn off the water supply to the bib from inside your home. Then, open the valve on the hose bib and let the water drain completely. This small effort can save you from significant headaches when temperatures plummet.

If you have used your hose during a warm spell, don’t trust winter not to come back… go and drain the hose bibs now before a cold snap freezes your pipes and they burst.
