Prepare Your Faucets for Denver’s Frosty Winter

Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes

Winter in Denver brings a unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to plumbing. The thought of frozen faucets and burst pipes can be daunting for homeowners. However, with some proactive steps, you can ensure that your plumbing system remains functional and efficient throughout the cold months.

The Threat of Frozen Faucets

The harsh winter temperatures in Denver can cause the water in your pipes to freeze, leading to a build-up of pressure that may result in a burst. This could cause significant water damage to your home if not addressed. As one satisfied customer, Laney, reported, "Due to the cold temps in CO, my pipes had frozen underneath my sink, and the water was backing up"[3]. This is a common issue many homeowners face, but it reinforces the importance of winterizing your plumbing system early.

At Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical, we've had the privilege of assisting numerous Denver residents with their plumbing needs during the winter.

Another customer, Loyola M., praised our technician Aaron for his quick action in restoring heat and hot water during cold days[0].

Steps to Prepare Your Faucets for Winter

1. Insulate Your Pipes: One of the most effective ways to prevent freezing is by insulating the pipes. Use foam sleeves or pipe wrap to cover exposed pipes, especially those in unheated areas.
2. Seal Leaks: Check for leaks around your doors and windows to prevent cold air from seeping in, which can increase the risk of frozen pipes.
3. Drip Your Faucets: During freezing temperatures, let your faucets drip slightly. This keeps the water moving and reduces the chance of freezing.
4. Disconnect Hoses: Remove and store garden hoses. Shut off water to outdoor spigots and drain them to prevent any remaining water from freezing.
