A couple of days ago, I snapped this picture of the hose bib on the back of my house. Note that there is no hose attached and the faucet is protected by a snow-covered insulation kit. That little kit probably cost me four bucks five years ago. Sure beats spending hundreds to pay a Cincinnati plumber several hundred dollars to repair a burst pipe. These kits work! My residential plumbing has given me no problems and I've required not a single plumbing repair.
So glad I winterized my plumbing

This has been a cold new year in the Midwest. Temperatures have dropped below zero several times and some days we haven't climbed out of the teens. Wind chill, which is a primary factor in freezing pipes has been dreadful. I am so glad I winterized my plumbing back in early November. The frigid weather has been a boon for local plumbing companies which have been otherwise slow since the sewer cleaning rush around the holidays.
