Northeast Ontario Residents Urged to Winterize Plumbing Systems

Residents in the Northeast of Ontario are advised to prepare their home plumbing systems for winter to prevent potential damage. Service Line Warranties of Canada highlights the risks associated with frozen pipes, which can lead to pressure build-up and ruptures.

Frozen pipes may cause water leaks, resulting in significant home damage and costly repairs. Even minor cracks in plumbing can lead to water leakage and mold development.

Homeowners are encouraged to take preventive measures, such as insulating pipes and ensuring adequate heating in vulnerable areas, to reduce the risk of plumbing issues during the colder months.
