The Pipes are Cold Too.

The winter months bring certain property maintenance concerns that all landlords and homeowners in the far Northwest Suburbs of Chicagoland need to be aware of with a few months of freezing weather still ahead. When the temperature drops, one major issue that could come up is a frozen water pipe.

Here are the impending signs to look for –

 

1.  The temperature has dropped to the required temperature

2.  You can see frost on a pipe

3.  Running water coming out of your faucet has slowed to a crawl

4.  There is an odd smell coming from the drain

At the first sign of any of the above, please call Tom’s Plumbing. This is a non-negotiable situation for you as a home or property owner!

Your Hardiest Appliance Will Eventually Break Down.

It is your sturdy, reliable water heater and if it is more than 10 years old the end is probably near. The availability of warm, running water is vital to everyday living from showers, baths and frequent hand–washing to cooking, laundry and dish–cleaning. Here, in the Far Northwest Suburbs of Chicagoland, there are plenty of older water heaters.

The signs to look and listen for are –

 

1.  Rust…either on the tank or in the water itself.

2.  Strange, unprecedented noises.

3.  You start noticing leaks at the base.

4.  The water is not as hot as it used to be.
