Winter Time – Weather Tips

Cold weather has settled in. Things are freezing and thawing. This is the most vulnerable time for failing parts in your plumbing and heating systems. Top preventable fails include:
1. Outdoor water faucet freezes and bursts – Cover outdoor faucets with insulators to keep them above freezing.
2. Busted sprinkler system – You’d be surprised in Albuquerque how often people forget to adjust their sprinkler systems when freezing temperatures hit. This can lead to ruptured lines and frozen mess.
3. Frozen water line – Check your water lines and make sure if they are exposed to freezing temperatures that they are covered or otherwise insulated from extreme temperatures.
