Preparing Your Plumbing For Winter In Boston

Safeguarding Your Home Against Cold Weather Challenges

It is crucial to take proactive steps to protect your home's plumbing system from the potential hazards brought by freezing temperatures well before the cold sets in. Frozen pipes and cold weather plumbing issues can wreak havoc if not addressed properly.

Help Prevent Common Winter Plumbing Issues

Here are some essential tips to help you prevent frozen pipes and navigate the cold weather plumbing challenges that are especially relevant in Boston's winters.

1. Insulate Exposed Pipes: Exposed pipes are vulnerable to freezing. Insulate them with pipe sleeves or heat tape. Pay close attention to pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and attics.

2. Let Faucets Drip: When the temperature drops significantly, allow faucets to drip slightly. The flow of water can prevent pipes from freezing by relieving pressure that can build up due to ice formation.

3. Maintain Heating: Keep your home heated, even when you're away. Maintaining a consistent indoor temperature helps prevent pipes from freezing. If you're leaving for an extended period, set the thermostat to a minimum of 55°F (12°C).

4. Seal Leaks and Cracks: Seal gaps and openings in your home's exterior that allow cold air to enter. Proper insulation and sealing can help maintain warmer indoor temperatures and protect your plumbing.

5. Disconnect Outdoor Hoses: Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses before winter sets in. If hoses are left connected, water can freeze and damage the hose and potentially extend into the connected pipes.

6. Open Cabinet Doors: In cold areas like your kitchen or bathroom, open cabinet doors to allow warm air to reach pipes located under sinks and near exterior walls.

7. Use Space Heaters Wisely: If you have areas that are not adequately heated, use space heaters as needed, but always follow safety guidelines to prevent fire hazards.

8. Drain Outdoor Fixtures: Turn off outdoor water sources, like sprinkler systems, and drain the water from them to prevent freezing and damage.

9. Thawing Frozen Pipes: If you suspect a frozen pipe, use a hairdryer or warm towel to gently thaw it. Never use an open flame or excessive heat, as this can cause pipes to burst. Better yet - call a professional plumber right away to prevent damage to your plumbing system.

10. Emergency Shut-Off: Know the location of your home's main water shut-off valve. If a pipe does burst, shutting off the water quickly can minimize damage.

By implementing these winter plumbing tips, you can help to safeguard your home against the challenges brought by cold weather. With proper precautions, you can enjoy a cozy and worry-free winter season while protecting your home's plumbing system.

Our Boston plumbers are proud to offer a wide variety of services:

Proudly Serving the Boston Area's Historic Properties

If you live in one of Boston’s beautiful brownstones, or in a property built before the 1990s, your plumbing is considered historic. The character and charm that come along with your historic home age well; however, its plumbing doesn’t quite follow suit.

Behind your gorgeous crown molding and decorative walls, a plumbing disaster may be brewing. At Winters® Home Services, we bring the latest plumbing technology into your home without jeopardizing its historic value.

Our plumbers can help with all types of common historic plumbing problems in the Boston area, including:

Outdated Materials—Building codes constantly change. If your home has not been renovated in the last couple of decades, your pipes probably need replacing. Piping materials such as lead pipes, pipe bellies, galvanized pipes, and polybutylene pipes can pose a threat to you and your home. We know how to deal with and replace these materials for your comfort and safety.
Pipe Bellies—Pipes installed underneath your home are subject to natural shifts in the ground. If a pipe is forced downward, “bellying out”, your water flow will be restricted and sediment will begin to accumulate, which can cause recurring clogs. Preventative drain cleaning by skilled professionals will need to be performed until you are ready to replace your piping.
Outdated Fixtures—Vintage fixtures, from showerheads to faucets, are costing you more money in utilities than an upgrade would. Older fixtures are going to leak due to natural wear and tear. And, over time, they can develop a stench as well. You can still purchase a fixture with character and antique design, so change out your fixtures to start saving on water costs.
Lead Pipes: Lead is toxic. If your home is on the older side, get your plumbing checked. Lead was a popular plumbing material until the mid-1960s when the Safe Drinking Water Act was passed, banning the installation of lead pipes. If your home still has lead piping, and you do not want to replace them, you should install a water filtration system to prevent lead contamination of your water supply.
Polybutylene Pipes: Common in homes built between the 1970s and 1990s, polybutylene pipes were a cost-effective plumbing material. However, it has proved problematic, as numerous malfunctions have been reported. The minerals and oxidants naturally found in water supplies cause a chemical reaction with the plastic polybutylene pipes, causing cracking and flakes of plastic to peel off into the water supply. These issues ultimately lead to extensive property damage and compromised potable water. If you have polybutylene pipes, make sure you schedule an appointment to get new piping installed before your pipes break down.
Galvanized Pipes: Galvanized pipes were most commonly used for residential water lines. The issue here is with the coating on galvanized pipes: zinc. Over time, zinc erodes causing galvanized pipes to malfunction. Rust formed from aging zinc accumulates within galvanized plumbing, causing clogs. These clogs then restrict water flow and increase the pressure within your plumbing system, which may cause your pipes can rupture. Galvanized pipes can also negatively affect your drinking water. If you begin to see an orange hue to your water, your water may have rust in it and it should not be consumed.
