Even with warm days, nighttime is still below freezing. As the temperature drops, we at Academy Plumbing and Heating know that winter can bring a whole new set of challenges for home and business owners. Here are the top three winter plumbing problems that you might encounter:

1. Frozen Pipes: Perhaps the most common winter plumbing issue is frozen pipes. When water inside your pipes freezes, it expands, leading to potential cracks and breaks. If left untreated, this could lead to significant water damage.
2. Water Heater Failure: Your water heater works overtime during the cold months, which increases the likelihood of malfunction. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure you’re not left without hot water in the middle of winter.
3. Drain Line Clogs: As more people stay indoors during winter, increased usage can lead to clogged drains and sewer line backups. This is especially true around the holidays when kitchen and bathroom usage peaks.

Our experienced team is on hand to provide preventative maintenance and emergency repairs, ensuring your plumbing system operates smoothly throughout the winter season.
