In the cold weather pipes can easily freeze and this can damage your pipes later in order to eliminate the possibility of having frozen pipes, maintain a constant temperature in your home Be certain to adequately insulate those pipes that are out in the weather. Obviously, if it is below freezing outdoors, the pipes will be subjected to extreme temperatures. It may take time to thaw so that you can have running water. Frozen pipes can also burst, which can be very messy and expensive to repair.

One of the most expensive plumbing problems you can have at a home is your septic system getting clogged or back up. A septic tank can build sediment over time and that can cause long term problems.
