Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes

As winter approaches, many homeowners in New Hampshire brace themselves for the biting cold. But it's not just about staying warm; protecting your home’s plumbing system is crucial to prevent costly repairs and water damage. Let's dive into how you can safeguard your home and why Paul The Plumber is your go-to specialist for winter plumbing needs.

The Hidden Perils of Winter Plumbing

One brisk winter morning, Katey S. noticed that her water had stopped flowing. In a panic, she reached out to Paul The Plumber. Jeremy arrived promptly and identified frozen pipes as the culprit. With expert precision, he thawed the pipes, restoring Katey's water flow before noon. The quick response and effective solution provided relief during an otherwise stressful situation[0].

When temperatures plummet, it's common for pipes to freeze. The prevalent issue here is that frozen water expands, which can cause pipes to burst. A sudden burst pipe is not only an inconvenience but can also lead to extensive water damage in your home.

Steps to Prevent Frozen Pipes

To protect your plumbing, consider these essential precautions:

• Insulate Pipes: Wrap your pipes, especially those in unheated areas, with foam insulation to fend off freezing temperatures.
• Seal Gaps: Ensure that any gaps or cracks in your home's foundation or walls are sealed to prevent drafts from reaching pipes.
• Maintain a Consistent Temperature: Keep your thermostat set at the same temperature day and night. Cold snaps are notorious for causing unnoticed pipes to freeze.
• Run Water: During particularly cold spells, let water drip from your faucets. This can help ensure water flow and prevent freezing[1].
