Icy winters affect everyone and everything we own. The Naugatuck community, in particular, are no stranger to slippery sidewalks, muddy roads, impossibly cold surroundings, and, at worst, broken plumbing fixtures right where they matter most. That’s right: Frozen pipes at home are an unfortunate reality of the sub-zero season.
Whether due to their underground design or aging materials, pipes can freeze and even explode when continuously exposed to sub-zero temperatures. And because all that water needs to go somewhere, inland flooding is not far behind. That’s why it’s important to check your plumbing system regularly and weatherproof aging fixtures, or plan for qualified winter replacements.
