Winter is coming!

As we near our cold months in Kannapolis, NC it is important to be prepared in every aspect of home maintenance, and this includes your well and pump systems.  If components of your well or pump freeze, you could lose water and also need emergency repair.

Here are a few tips to get you started!

• Make sure your well house is properly sealed.  Take a walk around your well house and inspect it for cracks or spots that you can see light through. 
• Insulation.  Since pipes are prone to freezing in our colder months, they can break.  You can wrap your popes in heat tape or insulation to ensure they won't freeze.  Be sure to also insulate your tank, and around the interior of your well house.
  
• Use heat.  Heat lamps and heaters are an easy way to keep your well house (and all the parts inside) from getting too cold and freezing.  When using this method be sure that there aren't any obstructions inside your well house that could become a potential fire hazard.  

If you have any issues administering these maintenance tips, feel free to give us a call and we will have someone come out and prepare your well for you.
