Latif Plumbing & Heating - Shaftsbury's Professional Plumbing Service

The best prevention is to have a professional install a frost-free hose bib. We also recommend shutting off the water supply to the faucet from inside your home and draining the line before winter. During a plumbing inspection, we can check all your outdoor fixtures and advise on the best solutions to protect your pipes from our Vermont cold snaps.

Absolutely. Replacing a broken shutoff valve is a common repair we perform for Shaftsbury homeowners. We'll quickly shut off the main water supply, replace the faulty valve with a durable new one, and restore your water. This is a crucial repair to prevent water damage and ensure you can safely isolate fixtures for future maintenance.

Common signs include multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in your yard or basement, and unexplained soggy patches in your lawn. Given the soil and tree root conditions in our area, we recommend a professional sewer camera inspection to diagnose the issue accurately, whether it's a simple clog or a damaged pipe needing repair or replacement.
