Fall Check-Up: Prevent Outdoor Plumbing Problems Before Winter Strikes

As the crisp fall air rolls in, homeowners start prepping for the colder months ahead. But while you’re raking leaves and putting away patio furniture, don’t overlook one critical area—your outdoor plumbing. A little preparation now can save you from costly headaches when freezing temperatures arrive.

Outdoor Plumbing Risks in Cold Weather

When winter sets in, water left in outdoor pipes, hose bibs, and irrigation lines can freeze and expand. That pressure often leads to cracks and bursts—damage that may stay hidden until spring, when leaks waste water and drive up utility bills.

Why Fall Is the Perfect Time to Act

Fall is the season for prevention. By inspecting and winterizing your outdoor plumbing now, you can:

  • Detect small leaks before they worsen.
  • Drain irrigation lines to prevent freezing.
  • Install insulated covers or upgrade to frost-proof fixtures.
  • Protect your home from costly water damage when temperatures drop.

Small Steps = Big Savings

Even minor drips or slow leaks can become major problems over the winter. Addressing issues now means avoiding emergency repairs in the dead of winter—and keeping your water bills under control.
