Allegheny Plumbing & Heating | Plumbing Services in Greencastle, PA 17225

Our inspection proactively identifies pipes at risk, especially in unheated areas like crawl spaces, basements, and exterior walls common in local homes. We check insulation, look for drafts, and recommend specific, cost-effective measures like pipe sleeves or heat tape to protect your plumbing before the first hard freeze hits Greencastle.

Before freezing temperatures arrive, it's crucial to shut off the interior water supply valve to each outdoor faucet, then open the outdoor spigot to drain any remaining water. During a professional inspection, we will identify and show you these shut-off valves if you're unsure, and check that the faucets themselves are in good condition to prevent seizing or cracking.

No, a frozen pipe is an urgent situation. If you notice reduced or no water flow from a faucet during cold weather, act immediately by safely applying gentle heat (like a hairdryer) to the suspected area and open the faucet. Call us right away. A prompt inspection after thawing is critical to check for leaks or cracks that may have occurred, preventing major water damage.
