The change in seasons can wreak havoc on plumbing systems, but homeowners can take action as soon as the temperatures drop in order to prevent problems down the road. Disponette Service Co. has more than 40 years of experience offering plumbing services, boiler repair, pipe fitting and hot water boiler maintenance to homes and businesses in the Lexington area. Kentucky’s go-to plumber has some tips to help homeowners keep their plumbing in working order for the fall:

• Maintain Your Outdoor Faucets: The plumber at Disponette Service Co. is often called in for repairs when homeowners fail to inspect and maintain their outdoor water facilities. They encourage customers to disconnect outdoor water hoses, make sure there are no drips or leaks coming from outdoor faucets and close interior shut-off valves before the temperatures freeze. Disponette Service Co. will send a plumber to your home if you need assistance.
• Insulate Your Home: The walls of your home are probably well insulated, but that insulation does little if there are cracks and leaks that let cold air seep in. Disponette Service Co. wants customers to remove window air conditioning units and seal doors and windows to keep the heat inside which will reduce the strain on your heating system.
• Check Your Hot Water Boiler: You’ll want to inspect your hot water boiler now to prevent a disruption in heating when the weather is even colder. Disponette Service Co. suggests that homeowners flush out their hot water boiler in the fall to remove sediment buildup. Consult the plumber at Disponette Service Co. if you need water heater repair or boiler repair to ensure your home is ready for the cold season.
