❄️ WINTER IS COMING! IS YOUR HOME READY?

Indiana winters can be tough on your home, especially your plumbing!
A little preparation now can help prevent frozen pipes, costly leaks, and unexpected repairs later.

Here are 5 ways to winterize your home:

Disconnect garden hoses and shut off outdoor faucets when possible.

Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and garages.

Keep your home warm, even when you're away.

Know where your main water shut-off valve is in case of an emergency.

Have your plumbing inspected to catch potential problems before freezing temperatures arrive.

Don't wait until a frozen pipe turns into a plumbing emergency!
Let Downing Plumbing help you prepare your home for the cold months ahead.

📞 Call us at 219-924-5640 to schedule your plumbing service!

Stay warm, stay prepared, and let us take care of the pipes!

Your water heater might give you warning signs before it fails!

Keep an eye out for:
Water that isn't getting hot enough
Rust-colored hot water
Unusual popping or rumbling sounds
Moisture or leaks around the unit

Don't ignore the signs! Catching a problem early may help prevent a bigger repair down the road.

Winter is on its way!

Before freezing temperatures arrive, remember to disconnect garden hoses and prepare your outdoor faucets for cold weather.

Water left in vulnerable pipes can freeze, expand, and cause costly damage.

A little preparation now can save you a major headache later!

Can you hear your toilet running when nobody's using it?

A running toilet often means a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or another issue inside the tank.

It may seem like a minor annoyance, but it can waste a surprising amount of water over time!

Plumbing tip: If your toilet keeps refilling on its own, it's worth getting it checked.

Don't let your money go down the drain! 😉
