You come inside to stay warm from the fall weather. The weather is cold and you are happy to stay inside, do some cooking and relax. The problem is that most people don’t think much of plumbing problems when the weather is changing. Too often there are issues that can come from the change of weather. M&C Orsack Plumbing is here to address some of those issues. We want to help ensure that you don’t have to worry about plumbing with the change in the season and the holidays right around the corner.

Blocked Drain

With it being fall outside the leaves are so beautiful changing their color and falling down. Even though those leaves are beautiful, they can cause problems to your drains. Those falling leaves go to the ground then blow into your drains where they will start to collect there, leading to an increased risk of clogged pipes. M&C Orsack Plumbing can come and install drain covers to help prevent the leaves from clogging your drain.

Bad Garbage Disposal

The weather is getting colder. Fall is a time we tend to stay inside and cook more, especially around the holidays. Here are a few tips when you are cooking reduce the likelihood of clogging your drains. Try to avoid putting foods down the disposal like potato peels, meat bones, any type of grease, oils or fats, coffee grounds, and eggshells, etc. These can cause your drains to get clogged making the water back up and drain slower. Even if you’re turning on the disposal trying to break it up, it won’t do a good enough job to prevent clogs.

Frozen Pipe that Bursts

When it starts to get cold outside, (usually about 20 degrees Fahrenheit) your pipes can freeze. Then when they are frozen, the pressure from the inside of the pipe can cause the pipe to burst. This does not always happen but it is a possibility that it can. M&C Orsack Plumbing can insulate your pipes before the weather gets too cold, helping to eliminate the possibility of your pipes freezing.

Water Heater Issues

You wake up in the morning and the house is a little cold, so you get into a warm shower to warm up. Doing this you oftentimes don’t realize how much your water heater has to work to provide you that warm water. When it is cold outside your water heater has to work harder to warm the water you are using for the shower, sink, dishwasher, and laundry. M&C Orsack Plumbing Contractor can upgrade your traditional water heater to a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters can ensure that you continue to have hot water throughout your entire day.
