It is that time of year again! Temperatures drop and everything starts freezing. During the low temperatures you want to keep your home or business safe from freezing pipes, pipe burst, and backflow freeze over. When the weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe – even at a trickle – helps prevent pipes from freezing. Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night.

Backflow devices are found throughout the United States to protect our drinking water from contamination. The way that backflow devices work do not change in varying climates but there are differences of backflow prevention protection in warm and cold climates, how they are managed and what time of year.

Call Pipetechs Plumbing to learn more about how we can help protect your home of business. One of our trained technicians will gladly check the backflow on site. We will advise you if you are WEATHER READY. You do not want to be in the cold and no water during the holiday season. Pipetechs Plumbing Technologies is a Duke FIND IT, contractor.
