During the worst of the winter period you may suddenly find there’s a problem with the plumbing in your property or business premises. It won’t be easy to get somebody out quickly, so it’s important you know what to do if and when there’s an emergency.
Where is the stop tap?
Firstly, do you know where the stop tap is? This is important because if you need to switch the water off quickly this will help. If you know a little DIY plumbing, it’s time to repair leaky taps and valves because again, this is something that could lead to a more serious problem.
Keep heating on a low setting
Because water freezes over winter, it’s a good idea to make sure you keep your heating on a low setting and fit an insulation jacket over your water tank. If you think you’re going to be away over winter for any length of time, then make sure you drain the system.
