Fall Plumbing Tips in Omaha

1. Outdoor plumbing: Disconnect and drain all outdoor hoses, faucets, and sprinkler systems. This is important to prevent water from freezing and expanding, which can cause pipes to burst. Make sure to turn off the outdoor water supply and store the hoses in a dry place.
2. Insulate pipes: Insulate any exposed pipes in unheated areas, such as the basement, crawl space, or attic. This helps to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting during colder temperatures.
3. Water heater: Check your water heater for any leaks or signs of wear and tear. Drain it and remove any sediment buildup to improve efficiency. It’s also a good time to check the temperature and adjust it if necessary.
4. Sump pump: If you have a sump pump, test it to make sure it’s working properly. This is important to prevent flooding in the event of heavy rain or melting snow.
