Safeguard your home or business with these winter weather plumbing protection tips. Even though winters are mild in Bothell, temperatures can still dip low enough to freeze pipes.
Give Grease a Chance
Solidified grease and vegetable matter will clog drains and disposals. Plumbing services are often called to treat backed-up kitchen sinks during this time of year. Save yourself the hassle and expense by keeping a disposable container near the sink. Collect the grease, put the lid on, and throw it in the trash.
Open Doors
For pipes under cabinets, prop the doors open at night to let the warm ambient air circulate around these vulnerable conduits.
Shower the People
Bump up the temperature on your hot water heater a little during the winter. For safety’s sake, don’t exceed 125°F, as this can cause scalding. Let at least ten minutes pass between each shower or bath. This will allow the water to get back up to temperature and keep the warmest water possible going through. Let a faucet drip to keep water moving; that might just be enough to prevent freezing in the line. For added winter plumbing protection experts suggest insulating the pipes.
