Why Montana Winters Increase Risks
Cold temperatures and frost can worsen existing issues and create new ones:
- Frozen pipes: Ice expands inside pipes, causing cracks or bursts.
- Ground movement: Frost heaves shift underground pipes, leading to misalignment or leaks.
- Delayed detection: Snow and frozen ground make leaks harder to spot early.
Preventative Actions to Protect Your Home
Acting quickly when you notice signs of trouble is key:
- Regular plumbing inspections
- Winterizing vulnerable pipes
- Monitoring water bills for unusual increases
- Contacting professional plumbing and utility experts at the first sign of damage
