Seasonal Showers: Prepping Your Outdoor Plumbing for Fall & Winter

As the leaves start to change and the temperatures drop across Nashville and Middle Tennessee, it’s time to think about more than just cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice—your outdoor plumbing needs attention too! 🍂❄️

Outdoor faucets, sprinkler systems, and pool lines often get overlooked until freezing weather hits, leading to burst pipes and costly repairs. The good news? A few quick steps now can save you time, stress, and money later. At Twenty-Four Hour Plumbing LLC, we’re here to help you prep your plumbing for the colder months ahead.

Step 1: Shut It Down Early

As soon as you know freezing temperatures are on the horizon, it’s time to shut off outdoor water sources. Disconnect hoses from faucets and drain any remaining water to prevent it from freezing and expanding inside the pipes. If you have an irrigation system, follow the manufacturer’s steps to blow out any remaining water—or let our team handle it safely for you.

Step 2: Insulate Exposed Pipes and Faucets

Even in mild Tennessee winters, exposed plumbing can freeze fast. Foam faucet covers and pipe insulation sleeves are simple, affordable ways to protect outdoor fixtures and prevent costly bursts. Pay special attention to pipes running through crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls—areas where cold air can sneak in.

Step 3: Drain and Cover Pool Plumbing

If you have a pool, don’t forget to drain and cap off the plumbing connected to pumps and filters. Winterizing these lines helps prevent cracks and leaks caused by expanding ice. It’s a small task that can save you from a very expensive spring repair bill!

Step 4: Schedule a Seasonal Inspection

Before winter hits, it’s a great idea to have your plumbing system inspected by a professional. Our licensed technicians at Twenty-Four Hour Plumbing LLC can identify weak spots, check for leaks, and make sure your system is fully ready for the cold. Preventative maintenance now means peace of mind all season long.
