Smith's Plumbing & Construction - Dixon's Experienced Plumber

Our local plumbing inspections focus on identifying pipes in vulnerable locations, such as in unheated crawl spaces or near exterior walls, which are prone to freezing during Dixon's cold snaps. We check insulation, assess the condition of outdoor faucets, and recommend specific, preventative measures like pipe insulation or heat tape to protect your home from freeze-thaw stress and costly bursts.

First, shut off the water supply to that faucet using the interior shut-off valve if you have one. Do not use an open flame to thaw it. Call Smith's Plumbing & Construction. As Dixon experts, we can safely thaw the line, inspect it for cracks or damage caused by the expansion of ice, and repair or replace the faucet to prevent future freezing and water damage to your home's foundation.

Older homes in our region often have plumbing that wasn't installed with today's freeze-thaw cycles in mind. Our inspections check for outdated materials, poor insulation, and pipe routing that increases freeze risk. We identify these local-specific issues so you can make targeted repairs or upgrades, preventing emergencies and protecting your property's value.
