Tips

Winter Weather

The winter weather is upon us, so we thought we’d share some important tips about your plumbing.

If you own an unoccupied home it’s smart to winterize it during the winter months. Otherwise, your pipes could freeze and burst. If your power goes out you’ll want to make sure the pilot lights are re-lit on all of your gas appliances. Your heat may not turn on automatically and this could also cause your pipes to freeze and burst. You should also disconnect garden hoses from all outside spigots. And, be sure to check your furnace filters regularly.

Save Time & Money

Plumbing problems can happen in any home or business, at any time – day or night. That’s why Hanna Plumbing & Heating, Inc. is at your service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The plumbing system in your home or business requires regular maintenance and upkeep just like your vehicle. Regular maintenance can save you a lot of money by preventing the need for larger repairs and improves the efficiency of your pipes and faucets, resulting in a decrease of consumption.

Do you know where your main shut-off is?

It’s always good to know where your main shut-off is located before an emergency happens. This will save you both time and money if your pipes burst or begin to leak. You’ll be able to shut off the water to your home without causing further damage to your home or valuables.

In most residences the shut-off valve is located in the mechanical room or close to your water heater. Some houses do not have a main shut-off valve. In this case, we strongly suggest having us install one for you.
