This time of year we see our share of wet basements, most times it comes as an un-welcomed plumbing emergency. Checking your sump pump and installing an alarm that will signal you when there is water on the floor where it should not be, is much less expensive than an emergency plumbing visit. Let me come by at your convenience and show you how. This low cost alarm will also let you know if your water heater has sprung a leak.

Avoiding a costly plumbing repair can be easier than you think. I repair many outside hose faucets every spring. Most people don’t think about their outside faucet until they need it. If every fall you make it a habit to not only winterize your outside faucet, but also a good idea is to bring your hose inside. Disconnecting you hose from your hose faucet is crucial to winterization. If the hose is left on than the faucet can not drain any residual water and can freeze in colder temperatures.
