🚰 WELL SYSTEMS & YARD HYDRANTS | Is Yours Ready for Winter?
If you live on acreage, chances are you have a yard hydrant somewhere on your property.
But did you know that even a frost-free yard hydrant can freeze?
Most traditional frost-free hydrants are designed to drain water from the vertical pipe after they're turned off.
However, if they aren't draining properly, water can remain inside and freeze.
Common warning signs include:
🔹 Water continuing to run after shutting it off
🔹 Leaking around the hydrant
🔹 Standing water around its base
🔹 Reduced water flow
🔹 A hydrant that has frozen previously
Different hydrant designs have different operating requirements, so it's important to know what you have.
At Mountain High Plumbing, we work with yard hydrants and residential well-system plumbing.
