Winter Plumbing Concerns for Homeowners in North Georgia

Across the nation, many homeowners need to be aware of winter plumbing concerns so that they can plan accordingly. While homeowners in the North Atlanta Metro Area and North Georgia areas don’t have to deal with sub-zero temperatures all winter long, we can still experience freezing temperatures in the winter. And it’s important that you know what to do to avoid common winter plumbing issues like frozen pipes.

Common Winter Plumbing Issues

There are a variety of plumbing issues that can affect your North Georgia home, either in the winter or any time during the year. Some of the most common issues we see and address here at Kennon Heating & Air Conditioning include:

• Pipe damage – Whether due to tree roots encroaching on the pipes or general deterioration over the years, pipe damage can lead to a variety of problems for your home.
• Frozen pipes – While we don’t typically experience winter weather that can lead to pipes freezing and bursting, keeping your home heated in the winter can help prevent frozen pipes.
• Hot water heater problems – Your hot water heater will likely be doing more work in the winter, and it’s not something you want to have break down in the colder months. Flushing your hot water heater ahead of the winter months can help ensure it’s in full working order for winter.

Additional plumbing issues can occur any time of the year, regardless of the weather or temperatures outside. These include sewer line problems, drainage issues, and gas line problems.
