Fall Plumbing Maintenance

The kids are back in school, and fall is in the air.  As you put your outdoor furniture away and close down your yard, don’t forget to disconnect your garden hoses and inspect your hose bibs.  Garden hoses can freeze and prevent your frost-free hose bib from fully draining.  This can cause your hose bib to freeze and break.  Inspect for drips as well and have any dripping hose bibs repaired before winter arrives.  A broken hose bib can cause expensive damage to your interior floors and walls.  A few minutes of maintenance can save you the headache of an easily preventable repair.
