Fall is Here — Don’t Forget This Simple Step to Protect Your Home!

As the crisp air rolls in and temperatures start to drop, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the colder months ahead. One of the easiest — yet most often overlooked tasks is disconnecting your outdoor hoses before freezing weather sets in.

Why It’s So Important

Leaving hoses connected can trap water inside the faucet and hose. When temperatures dip below freezing, that water can expand — causing pipes to crack, burst, or leak. Even one night of freezing temperatures can lead to costly damage and unwanted plumbing repairs.

Rapid Response Plumbing’s Fall Checklist

To keep your plumbing system safe and sound, our experts recommend:

✅ Disconnecting all outdoor hoses and draining them completely

✅ Turning off outdoor water valves (if your home has them)

✅ Installing faucet covers or insulation to protect spigots

✅ Inspecting for leaks or drips before winter fully sets in

Stay Ahead of the Cold

Taking just a few minutes now can prevent a big (and expensive) headache later. At Rapid Response Plumbing, we’re here to help you keep your home’s plumbing in top shape — no matter the season.
