While winters in Las Vegas are mild compared to other regions, temperatures can still drop low enough to cause plumbing problems. Frozen pipes, leaky water heaters, and outdoor plumbing damage are all risks during cold snaps. Preparing your plumbing system ahead of time can save you from expensive repairs and water damage.

Insulate Exposed Pipes

Pipes in unheated areas like garages or outdoor walls are vulnerable to freezing. Pipe insulation is an inexpensive way to prevent costly burst pipes.

Disconnect and Drain Outdoor Hoses

Leaving hoses attached during freezing weather can cause water to back up into the faucet and pipes, leading to cracks and leaks.

Flush and Inspect Your Water Heater

Cold weather increases demand for hot water. Flushing the tank removes sediment and keeps your system working efficiently during the winter months.

Schedule a Plumbing Inspection

Professional inspections identify potential issues like leaks, worn-out seals, or corroded pipes before winter weather makes them worse.
