Prevent Frozen Outdoor Faucets in Winnipeg

As the temperatures drop in Winnipeg, one of the most common plumbing issues homeowners face is frozen outdoor faucets.

Frozen Faucet Winnipeg

When water is left inside exterior taps and pipes, it can freeze overnight, expand, and cause serious damage - not just to the faucet, but also to the connected plumbing lines inside your home.

Don’t Wait - Cold Nights Come Sooner Than You Think Many homeowners believe that freezing weather is still weeks away, but the truth is that even early fall nights in Winnipeg can dip low enough to freeze outdoor faucets. If you think cold nights are far away, you’re wrong. A single chilly night is all it takes to turn a dripping tap into an ice block.

Why Frozen Outdoor Faucets Are a Problem

• A leaking or dripping faucet can quickly freeze in sub-zero weather.

• Ice buildup can split the faucet or burst the pipe behind the wall.

• Costly water damage may occur when the ice thaws and water starts leaking inside your home.
  

How to Protect Your Outdoor Faucets

1. Shut off the water supply to exterior faucets before the first hard freeze.

2. Drain and disconnect hoses to prevent trapped water from freezing.

3. Install insulated faucet covers for extra protection.

4. Schedule a plumbing inspection to ensure your home’s plumbing is ready for winter.
