Get Your Home’s Sewer Ready for Winter If you're like most people, you probably don't give much thought to your home's sewer system until there's a problem. But taking some simple steps from RAM Plumbing, your go-to expert in sewer repair in Tucson, AZ to winterize your sewer system can help prevent costly repairs down the road. Here are a few things you can do to get your home's sewer ready for winter: 1. Insulate exposed pipes. Pipes that are exposed to the cold are more likely to freeze and burst. You can purchase pipe insulation at most hardware stores. Simply cut the insulation to size and wrap it around the exposed pipes. 2. Seal any cracks or gaps in your foundation. Cracks and gaps in your foundation can allow cold air to enter your home, which can cause your pipes to freeze. You can seal cracks and gaps with caulk or expanding foam insulation. 3. Disconnect any hoses from outdoor faucets. If water is allowed to sit in the hose, it can freeze and burst the hose, which could damage your outdoor faucets. 4. Have your sewer system professionally inspected and cleaned. Professional inspection and cleaning can remove any blockages or build-up that could cause problems down the road. Following these simple steps can help prevent costly sewer repair in Tucson, AZ to your sewer system this winter.
