As the winter chill has set in, homeowners in Indianapolis may find themselves facing unexpected plumbing issues. From frozen pipes to stubborn leaks, the colder months can be tough on your home's plumbing system. In this guide, we'll explore common winter plumbing problems and provide tips on finding the solution to keep your home warm and dry.


  1. Frozen Pipes:

- Winter temperatures in Indianapolis can drop significantly, leading to the risk of frozen pipes. If you're dealing with frozen pipes, it's crucial to act quickly to prevent them from bursting. Moving water is harder to freeze, so leave your faucets dripping and your cabinets open, on those cold nights in places that you know have a tendency to freeze. A space heater or a fan in the the location of the frozen pipe can help with thawing out the frozen pipes. Make sure all your outdoor water hoses are disconnected from your hose spigots, and if your water heater is in the garage, leave your garage door shut. 

   2.  Burst Pipes:

- A burst pipe is a homeowner's nightmare, especially during winter. Rapid temperature changes can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks and leaks. At Plumber Near Me, we can assess the damage, repair the burst pipe, and implement preventative measures to avoid future issues.

  3. Blocked Drains:

- Winter storms and freezing temperatures can contribute to debris buildup and blockages in drains. If you're experiencing slow drainage or backups, it's time to call in a professional plumber equipped with the tools to clear obstructions and ensure smooth water flow.

  4. Water Heater Woes:

- Cold weather can put additional strain on your water heater. If you notice a lack of hot water or strange noises coming from your water heater, give us a call. Here at Plumber Near Me, we can inspect and address the issue promptly, ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable. Again, be sure not to leave your garage door open if your water heater is installed there.
