The best defense is to shut off and drain the outdoor water supply line before the first hard freeze.

We also recommend disconnecting garden hoses and using an insulated faucet cover for added protection. If you're unsure about your setup, a plumbing inspection can identify vulnerable points.

Yes, Hartford's mineral-rich water can lead to scale buildup that clogs aerators, reduces water pressure, and wears out moving parts faster. When we install a new faucet, shower system, or water heater, we often discuss water softening options to extend the lifespan of your fixtures and improve efficiency. We can also provide regular descaling services during repairs to keep everything running smoothly.
