Northern New Jersey winters are hard on plumbing. A burst pipe in January can cause thousands in damage and leave you scrambling. Spend an afternoon this fall winterizing, and you'll head into the cold season with confidence.
Protect the pipes
- Insulate pipes in unheated areas
- Seal drafts near plumbing runs
- Disconnect, drain, and store garden hoses
- Shut off and drain outdoor faucets
- Know where your main shut-off is
Prepare the systems
- Service your water heater for heavy winter demand
- Have your heating system tuned up
- Keep the thermostat steady, even when away
- Open cabinet doors during extreme cold
