Winterizing Outdoor Pipes

Winterizing Outdoor Pipes

Winterizing outdoor pipes saves money in the long run.  Be sure to follow these Superior Plumbing & Drain tips:

  1. Insulate pipes with insulation sleeves, wrapping or using slip-on foam pipe insulation. Don’t leave any gaps without insulation as cold air can affect the pipe in these spaces. Plastic piping is more tolerant than old copper or steel water pipes. Winterizing outdoor pipes now helps.
  2. Inspect the exterior of the property, making sure that all visible cracks are sealed. Cold air can enter through the cracks and, once inside, it will cause your pipe to freeze. If visible cracks are noticed, seal them using caulking or spray foam to fill the voids.
  3. Maintain a heating source inside the building to protect pipes against cold.
  4. It is a good idea to maintain a faucet dripping, allowing the water to move freely and continuously, preventing it from freezing.
  5. Insulate the crawl space. Block all vents that lead to the outside using cardboard or wood.
  6. Don’t forget the hose bibs. Hose bibs burst when not attended. Drain hose bibs and insulate with covers. Now deactivate bibs at the shutoff valve.
  7. Use heat tape to protect pipes from freezing. Heat tape is one of the preferred methods for winterizing plumbing, but be aware that these might bring additional hazards. The U.S. CPSC has provided safety recommendations for homeowners using heat tapes to help prevent fires.

water conservation

Even with recent rains, Vegas water conservation is still an important issue in the valley. With the city located in a desert region, it has limited water resources. Here are some ways that individuals and businesses can increase Las Vegas water conservation:

Install water-efficient fixtures: Replace old toilets, showerheads, and faucets with new, water-efficient models. These can help reduce water consumption and lower your utility bills.

Use drought-tolerant landscaping: Planting native, drought-tolerant plants can help reduce water consumption and save money on landscaping maintenance.

Fix leaks: Even small leaks can waste significant amounts of water over time. Check your pipes and faucets regularly for leaks and have them fixed promptly.

Use water wisely: Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving, and take shorter showers. These simple actions can save significant amounts of water over time.

Capture and reuse water: Collect rainwater in barrels and use it to water plants or clean outdoor areas. You can also reuse “gray water” from sources such as washing machines and dishwashers to water plants or flush toilets.

Choose water-efficient appliances: When buying new appliances, choose models with the Energy Star label, which indicates that they are designed to be water-efficient.

Know and follow watering restrictions: The Southern Nevada Water Authority sets watering restrictions to ensure that water is used efficiently. Be sure to know and follow the watering restrictions in your area.
