As temperatures begin to dip, Plumbing Excellence Northwest is reminding Seattle homeowners to take proactive steps to protect their plumbing systems from the effects of cold weather.

Even though the Pacific Northwest is known for its mild winters, sudden overnight freezes can cause significant damage to exposed or uninsulated pipes-leading to leaks, bursts, and costly water damage.

Frozen pipes are one of the most common winter plumbing issues, but they are also among the most preventable. The experts at Plumbing Excellence Northwes recommend homeowners insulate pipes in unheated spaces such as garages, crawl spaces, and attics. Disconnecting garden hoses, covering outdoor faucets, and allowing a slow drip from indoor taps during freezing nights can also help prevent ice blockages within pipes.

For added protection, homeowners should know how to locate their main water shut-off valve in case of a burst pipe and consider scheduling a professional plumbing inspection before winter sets in. Early detection of leaks or weak spots can help prevent emergencies later in the season.

Winter Plumbing Tips from Plumbing Excellence Northwest:

Insulate exposed and exterior pipes
Disconnect garden hoses and cover outdoor faucets
Keep a small stream of water running during hard freezes
Open cabinet doors to allow warm air to reach plumbing under sinks
Know where your main water shut-off valve is located
