Plumbing In Winter




Your plumbing system usually looks after itself, however when winter comes around, you will need to give it a little bit more consideration. You are wise to do this before the real cold weather sets in, as it will definitely save money, time and heartache. It may pay you to consult a professional service like Surbiton Plumbers who can provide a professional plumbing service and advice with fully guaranteed work. First of all find out where your stop valve is located on the incoming water supply main and label it. While you are looking, also find where other service valves are? Label them and check from time to time that they are working correctly.


In really cold weather take care to prevent water pipes freezing. If you have a storage cistern in the loft, it’s a good idea to leave the access hatch open. Heat from the house will help to keep the cistern and pipes from freezing. Make sure that the storage system and any exposed pipework is properly insulated with the correct material, particularly in the loft.


TIPS:

a). Make sure that you cistern is subject to an inspection at regular intervals. If the cistern is metal, check for any corrosion.

b). Have central heating boilers and other heating appliances serviced on an annual basis.

c). Dripping taps or continuously running overflow pipes are a sure sign that your plumbing system requires maintenance. To a
void them becoming major problems call in the services of your local plumbing professional like a Surbiton Plumber who can advise and carry out these actions for you.

d). If you have a condensing boiler, make sure that you have protected all the pipework from becoming frozen.

e). Make a note of your Registered Plumbing or Heating Professional telephone number for future reference.

f). Check the condition of flexible hosepipes to plumbed-in domestic appliances at regular intervals.
