Even brief freezes can cause significant damage to outdoor spigots, exposed piping, and exterior plumbing fixtures if they are not properly prepared for the winter season.

Winterizing exterior plumbing can help prevent frozen pipes, burst hose bibbs, and costly leaks that often aren’t discovered until thawing occurs. Simple preventative actions—such as disconnecting hoses, insulating exposed piping, and sealing vulnerable areas—can greatly reduce the risk of unexpected damage and expensive repairs later in the season.

Some of the most important exterior plumbing steps homeowners should prioritize include:

• Disconnect and store outdoor garden hoses

• Install insulated faucet covers on exterior hose bibbs

• Insulate any exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, or unheated areas

• Seal gaps or cracks where cold air can reach plumbing

• Consider installing frost-free hose bibbs in frequently used areas

These tasks take just a few minutes but offer long-lasting protection once freezing weather arrives.

LaVergne’s Plumbing & Heating encourages homeowners to schedule seasonal service or ask for professional advice if they are unsure which areas of their home may be at risk. Addressing these exterior plumbing details now can help keep systems protected through the coldest nights of the year and avoid preventable emergencies.
