Portland Autumn Tips

Here are some Portland Autumn Tips to welcome you into fall.

• Portland Autumn Tips #1:  Remember to disconnect outside water hoses when not in use to prevent water from possibly freezing and causing faucets and pipes to freeze and break.
• Portland Autumn Tips #2:  Make sure outside faucets aren’t dripping or leaking. If it is leaking, call one of our professionals at All Pro Plumbing, so that we can prevent any future cracks in the pipes.  Even a tiny crack can cause more than 250 gallons of water to leak in a single day.
• Portland Autumn Tips #3:  Cover outside faucets using a faucet insulation kit.
• Portland Autumn Tips #4:  Be sure to insulate your pipes in unheated areas, such as the garages or crawlspaces.
• Portland Autumn Tips #5:  Seal leaks around doors and windows to keep the Portland chill from creeping in.
• Portland Autumn Tips #6:  Make sure you flush your water heater because it works harder during the winter months.
• Portland Autumn Tips #7:  Clear leaves and debris from outside downspouts to ensure easy drainage.
• Portland Autumn Tips #8:  When leaving home for extended periods make sure the heat is left on and set no lower than 55°F.
