What If You Don’t Prep Plumbing for Winter?
You risk a plumbing disaster. Your pipes may freeze, causing the water inside the frozen section to expand and turn into ice. The water between the ice blockage and faucet exerts pressure that could cause a leak or burst pipe.
With a frozen pipe that thaws, water will flow continually from the damaged area unless you turn off the main water supply. Water can flow from a half-inch broken pipe at 30 to 50 gallons per minute. Imagine your next water bill if that happens.
Outdoor pipes, outdoor faucets, plumbing in unheated basements, crawl spaces, exterior walls, and anywhere else pipes are exposed to freezing temperatures can cause thousands of dollars in damage if they crack or burst.
Damaged plumbing and water leaks can lead to mold growth and mildew the longer they are undetected in your Marmora home. Don’t get caught unprepared.

Property winterization services start at $135, depending on the size of the home and the services needed. Services offered include:

- Blow out the drain lines
- Antifreeze appliances (applicable when whole-house winterization is performed)
- Hose bib covers that are available for purchase
Other Winterization Tips
- Disconnect the hose—Doing so is especially critical if you have antifrost spigots. Leaving the hose attached could cause the spigot to break—and they are expensive to replace.
- Prepare your heating system—We always remind our customers to have their heating system checked. Be sure to change the filters and have the system started up for the winter. The thermostat should be no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Take control of your comfort—By installing a Wi-Fi thermostat, you can monitor and control your heating and air conditioning from anywhere using your computer, mobile phone, or tablet.
- Consider an upgrade—Planning to replace your furnace, heat pump, or water heater? Give us a call for a free estimate. Be prepared before the below-freezing temperatures hit!
A Smart Device for Your Plumbing
Broadley’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning also recommends Flo by Moen™, a 24/7 security system that safeguards against leaks and water damage.
It consists of a Smart Water Shutoff installed on the main water supply line and a Smart Water Detector that can be placed anywhere in your home. Both devices connect to an app on your smartphone.
The app tells you the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the water in your home, along with information about water use. It also sends alerts, troubleshoots problems, and enables you to shut off your water no matter where you are.
We’re more than happy to answer your questions about this new technology. Let us install the Flo by Moen in your Marmora home.
