Preventing frozen outdoor faucets is crucial for Burlington winters. The best approach is to have a professional install a frost-free hose bib, which is designed to shut the water off inside your warm home, preventing freezing in the exposed pipe. We also recommend disconnecting hoses in the fall and insulating any exposed pipes. As part of our plumbing maintenance services, we can inspect your outdoor faucets and ensure they are properly winterized to avoid costly bursts and repairs.

Yes, sediment buildup is a frequent issue in Burlington and can significantly reduce your water heater's efficiency and lifespan. Minerals in the water settle at the bottom of the tank, insulating the burner element and causing longer heat times, strange noises, and even premature failure. We recommend an annual water heater flush as part of our maintenance services to clear this sediment. If the problem is severe, our technicians can assess whether a repair or a new, more efficient installation is the best solution for your home.
