Watch Out for These Issues
Here are some issues that we think you should watch out for this winter season.
Sump Pump Issues
A sump pump can rescue your house during the spring. This is why it’s so important to make sure that it’s in great condition through the winter. Your sump pump might even start working in late winter because of melting snow and ice. Check in with your sump pump to make sure it’s working properly before all this. The best thing to do is to get your sump pump maintained by a professional and make sure that you have quality service from our team members.
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are a threat we face due to our cold weather in Cranberry Township.
Indoor
Your pipes indoors can freeze. Make sure that you’re opening cabinets to let the pipes underneath your sinks get expose to the home’s heated air.
Outdoor
It’s more likely for your pipes outdoors to freeze. If you run into this problem, make sure you contact a professional immediately to rectify the issue.
Water Heater Issues
Are you having trouble with your home’s water heater? You don’t want to ever have to struggle with your water heater. This is an appliance in your home that tends to work overtime. If there’s any trouble going on with your system, you’re going to notice and it’s going to create major issues. We want to help you with your water heater services as soon as possible.
