Glenmoore plumbing can be kind of unpredictable due to seasonal changes. In recent years, our plumbing systems have had to be replaced much more frequently due to even more unpredictable weather changes within seasons. Fortunately, there are things that we can do to prevent this.
Residents need to take care of their Glenmoore plumbing concerns before freezing temperatures arrive in order to prevent severe damage from happening, since there is not much a plumber can do when pipes become frozen. Before the winter, make sure that your outside faucets are not leaking or dripping. Frozen pipes cause cracks, no matter what your pipe is made of. The tiniest of cracks can case serious damage/flooding in your residence.
During winter months, your hot water heater is hard at work. In order to prevent issues, take a tip from our Glenmoore plumbers: flush it out in order to remove sediment build up. After all, build up causes corrosion, which will indubitably shorten the life span in addition to decreasing the efficiency of the heater in general. In order to drain the heater, connect a hose to the faucet of the heater and direct the water into a nearby drain.
You can also choose to test your waters heater’s pressure relief valve (You might not want to do this, since the water is extremely hot. It might be better left to a Glenmoore plumber). You should lift up the lever and let it snap back, at which point a burst of hot water should flow into the drain pipe. If it doesn’t, then you’ll need to call a professional to install a new valve.
If you are leaving your home for extended periods of time, then you should shut off the main water valve and drain the system by opening faucets at the lowest and highest point of your residence. Also, make sure that your heat is still on to at least 55 degrees fahrenheit.
There are many additional Glenmoore plumbing steps that you should take if you are planning to leave your house uninhabited for the duration of the winter. Make sure that you take the necessary steps in order to prevent a disaster from happening to your home.
