Outdoor Tap Winterization: Prevent Freezing and Leaks

Winterize Your Outside Taps: Protect Your Home from Freezing

As the colder months approach, it's crucial to safeguard your outdoor plumbing fixtures from freezing and potential damage.

In London, ON, where temperatures can drop below freezing, outdoor taps are particularly vulnerable.

On this page, we'll emphasize the importance of winterizing your outside taps and explain how our plumbing experts can help you keep your home safe during winter.

Understanding Winterization and Its Significance

Winterizing your outside taps involves taking precautions to prevent freezing during cold weather. Freezing temperatures can cause water in your outdoor plumbing fixtures to expand, resulting in cracked pipes, burst taps, and leaks.

Not only is the repair costly, but it can also lead to water damage in your home.

That's why it's essential to winterize your outside taps before winter arrives. This entails draining the water from the taps and pipes and shutting off the water supply.

Additionally, adding insulation around the taps and pipes can help prevent freezing.
