Protect Your Greensboro Plumbing from Freezing Temperatures

Old Man Winter is knocking at the door. Pretty soon, he'll be looking for other ways to invade your home. Is your Greensboro plumbing protected? The winter of 2009-2010 was a bit extreme for North Carolina with temperatures dipping down into the twenties and hovering there for what seemed like months. Some of us dealt with bathtubs that wouldn't drain; water that wouldn't flow; water pipes that froze and burst. It was a pretty miserable existence when it came to our personal hygiene and that of our family members.

All of that could have been avoided by a scheduled visit from John's Plumbing and HVAC in Greensboro. Beat Old Man Winter and the frigid temps he brings: Contact John's Plumbing and HVAC for the 2010 winterization special. Prepare your plumbing and tune-up the heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems in your home.

John's Plumbing and HVAC offers these winterization tips:

• Remove all garden hoses from the outside faucets;
• Close all the vents around the foundation of your home;
• Block all areas where cold air can get into or heat can get out of any area of your home;
• Add insulation where needed to areas that have water pipes in them, i.e. well houses or utility rooms on the outside of the home;
• Add heat tape and pipe insulation to exposed plumbing in areas where insulation cannot be added or would not be feasible;
• Consider changing washing machine hoses. Those hoses are constantly under pressure and if exposed to freezing temperatures, could expand and burst, flooding the laundry room and the home;

John's offers a winterization special for both plumbing and heating and air. Contact Johns Plumbing and HVAC for more information or to schedule a visit.
