"Mike & Trey are amazing plumbers and a true masters of the trade! They’ve helped me unclog all of my drain lines exiting from out the kitchen and the bathroom. Mike informed me everything that would need to be done due to it being an older home and provided me with a price I felt was worth paying. I do air conditioning work myself and had the privilege of meeting Mr. Mike Mincey and Trey Hadden throughout my journey at the company we had previously worked for at the time. I’ve watched both of them as a team pull off some pretty miraculous jobs that aren’t built out for the weak! I’ve also seen them pull off jobs by themselves and still made it work! It seems like every single time Mike and Trey always ended up with a satisfied homeowners! Honest work. Honest guys. It’s important to feel comfortable with who you have in your home and these two here have always exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend Vortex Plumbing to anyone in need of quality work and A1 customer service!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

When outside temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, your pipes are at risk of freezing. To prevent this, set your thermostat to no lower than 55 degrees. For added safety, especially when you are away from home, maintaining a temperature between 55 and 60 degrees will provide enough warmth to keep pipes from freezing and help you avoid expensive water damage from burst pipes.

While some building codes allow galvanized pipe for natural gas, it shouldn’t be used for propane. Propane can cause the pipe to wear down, leading to dangerous leaks. Instead of galvanized piping for propane, you should consider coated copper, black iron, or corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). For underground propane line installation, you can use polyethylene (PE).

To keep your plumbing vents from freezing, start by insulating your pipes with foam or fiberglass sleeves to help maintain their temperature. For an extra layer of security, use heat tape, which acts as a personal heater to keep your pipes warm even when temperatures drop. Additionally, you should regularly check your vent cap to make sure it’s free from leaves and debris that can block the airflow. A clean, unobstructed vent cap is crucial for maintaining proper ventilation that will keep your plumbing vents from freezing and the plumbing system running smoothly.

While it’s possible to use an outdoor faucet in the winter, it might not be the best time to water your grass. Drawing water to your outdoor faucet increases the risk of that water freezing when you’re done with the faucet, especially if you don’t take the time to re-winterize your faucet. There are heated hose products you can buy to use in winter, but these can cost hundreds of dollars. It may be best to simply wait for the weather to warm up again.

Yes, even though frost-free and freeze-proof faucets are designed to withstand winter weather, it is still recommended to cover them with an insulated cap, especially during periods of extreme cold. These faucets work by keeping excess water inside the home's heated space and using a downward slope to drain, but this protection can be compromised. For the faucet to work correctly, you must always disconnect any attached hoses before temperatures drop below freezing, as a hose can trap water and lead to freezing. Ultimately, covering all outdoor faucets, even freeze-proof models, is the best way to prevent frozen and burst pipes.
