Schoenwalder Plumbing has had its share of winter disasters throughout the years but it has also been there when needed to prevent them. Whether it is frozen pipes or flooded basements, these true life stories point to the fact that thinking ahead and having the right assistance can save serious headaches when the temperatures fall.
Karen, one of the homeowners, recalls how she awoke up in the morning and woke up to water streaming through the ceiling. The uninsulated basement in her house had frozen overnight and burst its pipes. It was a catastrophe and luckily enough, Schoenwalder plumbing was only a phone call. The crew arrived promptly and replaced the broken pipes and provided Karen with a briefing on what she could do to safeguard her plumbing in future such as insulating the exposed pipes. She did as she was instructed and the following winter her basement remained dry.
Then there is Mike who experienced the more proactive one. He had placed the telephone call to Schoenwalder Plumbing prior to the first snowstorm. Mike had heard what a dangerous thing exposed out-of-doors faucets were, so he went on the safe side and pulled his hoses before daylight. The plumber came, inspected him against any problems and even added faucet covers to him. Later in the season when the temperature dropped, Mike did not experience any problems. He could not imagine what easy the steps were–and how ready he was.
