How to Prevent Burst Pipes
There are a number of ways to help prevent a burst pipe. Some are quite obvious, while other may not be so well-known. A few of the often-used tricks include letting your faucet drip, opening cabinet doors, keeping your home warm, and letting interior doors remain open. You may also hear that you should insulate your pipes by adding a foam wrap to exposed areas.
Each one of these tips works well to help protect your home against an emergency caused by a burst pipe. However, this winter consider calling us to inspect and professionally insulate your pipes. This added precaution can easily prevent expensive clean up and repair bills that can stem from the mess a burst pipe creates. If you do end up with a burst pipe, call us immediately as it is an emergency. We will have someone at your home in no time to fix the problem.

Extending the Life of Your Hot Water Heater
Your hot water heater is only designed to last 10-13 years. If your tank is coming up on that timeframe, you may consider replacing it soon. Replacing the hot water heater isn’t always a financial option so you should be aware of how to extend your water heater’s life. We are available to take care of each of these maintenance steps should you need.
The first task that can be done to help extend a water heater’s life is to drain the tank and wash away any sediment buildup. Next, replace the pressure-relief valve as over time it can give out and cause your water heater to stop working. Other ways to keep your water heater working longer can include installing a second anode rod, using an expansion tank, and opting to use water softeners. We are familiar with each of these steps and can quickly install and perform each one.
