September is a great time to start getting your plumbing ready for colder weather. Taking care of a few things now can help prevent frozen pipes and costly repairs later.
Disconnect garden hoses and check outside faucets for leaks or damage. If you have water lines in a garage, crawl space, or other unheated area, make sure they are properly insulated and protected from freezing.
For rural homes, fall is also a good time to check well systems, pressure tanks, and water treatment equipment. If you have a seasonal building, shop, or cabin, make a plan to winterize the plumbing before temperatures drop.
A little preparation this fall can save you a lot of trouble this winter.
