Winter plumbing issues can cause major headaches, but Point Breeze Plumbing Experts is here to provide the necessary solutions. From frozen pipes to clogged drains, we ensure your home’s plumbing remains intact throughout the colder months.
1. Insulate Your Pipes
Preventing frozen pipes is essential in Philadelphia’s freezing winters. Exposed pipes, particularly in attics, basements, and crawl spaces, are vulnerable to freezing and bursting. Point Breeze Plumbing Experts recommends insulating pipes to protect them from the cold, helping to prevent costly damage.

2. Install a Water Leak Detection System
Winter is an ideal time to install a water leak detection system. These systems help detect leaks before they cause severe damage, providing early warnings for freezing pipes or plumbing issues. Point Breeze Plumbing Experts can install a reliable system to safeguard your home’s plumbing.

3. Prevent Frozen Drain Lines
Frozen drain lines are just as troublesome as frozen water pipes. Point Breeze Plumbing Experts recommends insulating your drain lines and ensuring that they’re free from any debris that could cause blockages, making them vulnerable to freezing.
