Winter Storm Plumbing & Septic Prep: Avoid Costly Damage!

As winter approaches, freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on your plumbing and septic system. A little preparation can save you thousands in repairs and keep your system running smoothly.

Here’s how to stay ahead of the storm and protect your home from winter damage:

1. Insulate Pipes Before They Freeze

- Wrap exposed pipes with foam insulation or heat tape to prevent freezing and bursting.

- Disconnect & cover outdoor faucets to avoid ice buildup.

- Check for drafts in crawl spaces and seal gaps near plumbing lines.

2. Keep Your Plumbing Warm

😎Maintain heat in basements, crawl spaces, and utility rooms.

✔️Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate.

💧Let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold to prevent freezing.

3. Prep Your Septic System for Winter

✊Pump your tank before winter storms if it’s due. A full tank can freeze, causing backups.

✋Avoid overloading your system by staggering laundry, showers, and dishwashing.

4. Know When to Call a Professional

If you notice slow drains, gurgling pipes, or sewage odors, act fast before a freeze makes the problem worse.
