YES—always disconnect outdoor hoses before freezing temperatures hit.
Leaving a hose connected traps water inside the hose bib, which can freeze, expand, and cause the pipe to break or leak. Disconnecting hoses is one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent winter pipe damage.

Proper winter prep helps prevent frozen or burst pipes. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Seal gaps under cabinets, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, so cold air isn’t circulating around your plumbing.

  • Ensure pipes—particularly in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and garages—are properly insulated.

  • Open cabinet doors during extreme cold to let warm air reach pipes.

  • Disconnect outdoor hoses and shut off exterior water lines if possible.

  • Know where your main water shutoff valve is in case of emergencies.

Frozen pipes often lead to breaks, which can quickly turn into costly flood situations. A little preparation goes a long way.

If your property has large trees or bushes, it’s smart to have your sewer line inspected once a year.
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer backups, blockages, and pipe breaks. An annual camera inspection can catch root intrusion early—before it becomes an expensive repair.

If you notice slow drains, gurgling, or frequent backups, schedule an inspection right away.

Absolutely.

Most water heater issues—leaks, heating failures, replacements, pilot light problems—are best handled by a licensed plumber. Northeast Plumbing services, repairs, and installs both tank and tankless water heaters.

  • Strange noises or constant running

  • Water pooling in your basement

  • Pump failure during heavy rain

  • A unit older than 7–10 years

We can inspect your sump pump and recommend repair or replacement before a major storm hits.

  1. Shut off the main water valve immediately.

  2. Move belongings away from the affected area.

  3. Call Northeast Plumbing right away for emergency service.
