Frozen Pipes

Plumbing Winterization Services in Gahanna, OH

As Central Ohio’s weather becomes colder and winter sets in, it’s important to remember to winterize your plumbing if you’re leaving town or have a house or building that’s going to be vacant. Plumbing winterization helps homeowners prevent their pipes from freezing and bursting, which can cause devastating water damage and expensive repairs. When temperatures drop and water freezes inside a pipe, pressure builds  up and water can end up bursting through your pipe walls and causing all sort of expensive problems. Winterizing plumbing is a major step homeowners and property managers can take to prepare their place for winter. We at Gahanna Plumbing & Drain can help you get your home ready for cold weather while making sure that your plumbing system is in good shape and working properly. This way, you have running water, and hot water, all winter while staying warm and comfortable inside your home.

To prevent pipe problems and water leaks caused by Ohio’s freezing cold winter weather, you need to make adequate preparation ahead of time. Winterization is a fast and affordable way to get your plumbing system and pipes prepared for the freezing cold that causes damage to plumbing pipes and appliances.

Who Needs Winterization?

Winterization for older homes is a must. This is one plumbing service that older homes require; cold areas must be protected from freezing temperatures, including basements, crawlspaces, exterior walls and areas that aren’t properly insulated. Winterization should be top on the agenda of homeowners. Vacant homes and buildings are also in dire need of winterization once a year.  If you have a home that you only use for vacation, we strongly suggest winterizing it. Older homes and older buildings need plumbing winterization more than newer ones because they often lack sufficient insulation. Danger can also come from poorly installed pipework and plumbing installation work that’s too close to external walls, basements and crawl spaces. 

 Homes that don’t have people living in them and heat during the winter, such as vacation houses or sale buildings, need winterization performed because water will just sit in the pipes with no one using it and it can freeze. This causes expensive damage. Call Gahanna Plumbing & Drain for the service of an expert in plumbing winterization. We are happy to help!

What is the benefit of winterization?

The most significant benefit of plumbing winterization is the lower energy bills and savings on plumbing repairs and water cleanup. Winterization also prevents mold and the gathering of moisture that can damage your home in the long run. It also preserves the long-term value of your home or building.

What does plumbing winterization prevent?

Winterizing plumbing pipes is a process that prepares residential and commercial plumbing equipment for freezing temperatures. These freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on pipes causing leaks and breaks in the plumbing system. Water expands when it freezes and becomes ice. This expansion produces pressure inside the pipes, which causes damage. Without plumbing winterization on a home or building sitting empty during the winter, it’s not uncommon for there to be pipe bursts. 

How does plumbing winterization work?

Winterizing plumbing equipment is recommended when a home or building will be vacant for a long period of time without heat or water running through the pipes. The plumbing winterizing process includes emptying the water heater or water heater tank, draining all water from the home or building’s pipes, and filling fixtures with plumbing antifreeze. In unoccupied structures, this draining of the water out of the pipes prevents the water from freezing inside and causing damage.
