With average November temperatures in Tulsa ranging from 40°F to 60°F, colder days are upon us! Now’s the time to prepare your plumbing for the winter months. Allied plumbing Service is here to help you make the most of this season with peace of mind.
- Outside Faucets: To avoid frozen pipes and costly repairs, be prepared to disconnect and drain garden hoses, inspect outdoor faucets for any drips or leaks. Freezing temperatures can cause significant damage if these two items are not addressed.
- Inspect Water Heaters: As colder weather approaches, your water heater will be working harder. Flushing it out can help remove sediment buildup, making it more efficient. Also, if the tank is in an unheated space, make sure there are no visible leaks in or around the tank.
- Close Crawl Space Vents: Make sure your crawl space vents are closed to help keep the cold out and protect your pipes.
- Seal Gaps to Avoid Frozen Pipes: Identify and seal any gaps around pipes in the exterior walls to help prevent freezing.
- Prevent Clogged Drains: With the holidays approaching, kitchen drains may see extra use. Avoid clogs by being mindful of what goes down the drain/garbage disposal. 15 items that should never be put down the drain are: fat/grease/oil, pasta/rice/oats, bones, seafood shells, potato peels, glass/metal, eggshells, poultry skin, fibrous vegetables, produce stickers, medication/fruit pits, coffee grounds, sauerkraut and nuts.
