Avoid Valentine’s Day Surprises: Plumbing Precautions in Kokomo Winters

Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes

As February approaches, you might be dreaming of romantic Valentine's Day plans. But in Kokomo, winter can bring unwelcome surprises if your plumbing isn't in top shape. Frozen pipes, unexpected leaks, and other cold-weather challenges can turn your special day into a stressful one. At Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling, we know how to keep your plumbing running smoothly, even in the harshest conditions.

Understanding the Winter Plumbing Challenges

Kokomo winters test every homeowner's plumbing system. The drop in temperature can cause pipes to freeze and eventually burst if not properly insulated. According to a testimonial from Diane Hamilton, one of our knowledgeable plumbers, "He is friendly, patient, and exceptionally hard-working. He came quickly to our rescue yesterday and came back this morning. His ability to keep us calm when we don’t have a working toilet is remarkable"[0]. Plumbers like Thomas Blazer from Summers not only fix the issue but do so with a professionalism that ensures peace of mind.

Why Frozen Pipes Are a Problem

Frozen pipes can create a domino effect of issues. They not only block water supply but can also cause pipes to expand and burst, leading to extensive water damage. Connie Martin, a new homeowner, faced frozen pipes on a well system but was guided by Caleb from Summers. She shared, "Caleb was very nice. He explained everything in detail"[2]. This detailed attention is crucial in averting catastrophic damage and costly repairs.

Preventative Measures to Take

1. Insulate Your Pipes:
2. • Ensuring that your pipes, especially those in unheated areas like basements and attics, are properly insulated can prevent freezing.
   • Jenna Burris highlights, "They were kind, humble, informative, and most of all understanding of our frustration"[4], showcasing how our team explains each step while addressing your unique plumbing needs.
2. Regular Maintenance Checks:
3. • Organize routine plumbing inspections, much like those included in our beneficial membership plans which offer not only checks but discounted repairs.
   • With over 1,400 Google reviews praising our service, Joshua Reid praised, "Our experience was outstanding from start to finish. They responded quickly...and fixed it promptly"[1], proving the efficacy of regular maintenance in preventing surprises.
3. Protect External Faucets:
4. • Disconnect and drain hoses, and cover outdoor taps to minimize freezing risks.
   • Regular updates during such repair work are part of the excellent customer service we take pride in, ensuring you're never left wondering about next steps.
