What Can We Winterize?

When you start preparing to winterize the plumbing in your Toronto home, it’s important to be sure you don’t neglect the outdoor faucets and hydrants. At Sewer Squad Plumbing, we want all of our customers to be knowledgeable about plumbing in all aspects of life, and one of the ways we do that is to check all of our expertise at the door.

One type of outdoor plumbing we winterize includes the following:

• Water Hoses

• Water Heaters & Boilers

The Best Method for Winterizing Outdoor Faucets in Toronto

When it’s time to go to bed or at least away for the weekend, it’s important to make sure your outdoor pipes are winterized when the weather goes below freezing. We never want our loyal customers to find outdoor plumbing that’s cracked from the cold weather. That’s why we always recommend that during our outdoor plumbing winterization check, we perform a free spot repair to prevent drip pipes.

Drain all water from pipes. This includes water sprinkler dryers and fountains. Stop the use of your outdoor sink as everyone including kids will have cold, wet, and dirty hands as well as a few dirty dishes that have been waiting there too long. Close interior shut-off valves leading to outdoor faucets and completely unhook and remove the hoses from outside water faucets. Once you move your hoses to the identical new location close to your piping system (as long as you are not using the indoor faucets) the entire winter is safe from frostbite. Tape the spigot-based indoor valve when you find it (refer to the instructions provided by your manufacturer) and keep it tightly closed when you are not using it. If you do not have any other option other than to deal with frozen outdoor pipes, then you may call an expert to help you out.

During a winterization check, we will check all of your outdoor plumbing, including your drainage, for any leaks. We will also check all of your outdoor faucets to make sure they are working properly by turning on and off the faucets to ensure the water can flow through them safely. If you have clogged fixtures, we will help you to repair your outdoor faucets and tanks to stop any leaks as well. We will also check any overflow valves that are connected to your outdoor faucets. Our technicians will use special tools to detect any clogs in your system and provide you with a detailed report of what could potentially be a major repair.

How to Identify Signs of Outdoor Plumbing Damage

Prevent potential disasters by identifying issues early:

• Visible Cracks or Leaks – Inspect outdoor pipes and faucets for signs of wear.
