Don't Forget About Winter

We had a customer call us today because they went to use an outside faucet and water was pouring out from underneath the laundry tub. Turns out they had left the bleeds open on the valves when they winterized the outdoor faucet.

Obviously, the unseasonably warm weather has people out enjoying some midwinter yard work. Not to ruin anyone's dreams of an early spring, but winter will undoubtedly come back. So remember, once you are done using your outdoor faucets, water hydrants, hose bibbs, or whatever other gadgets you have outside, make sure to turn off the shutoff valves inside and drain as much water from the lines as possible.

Don't let yourself wake up to a flooding basement!!
