WINTER FREEZE WARNING!
When freezing weather is expected to arrive, homeowners are urged to follow a few proven steps to prevent expensive pipe damage and plumbing repairs.
When cold air enters the perimeter around your residence, it causes piping to expand which often leads to leaks, breaks and other potentially costly repairs. Stopping this expansion and freezing is key to keeping your pipes operational.
We recommend a few preventative tips as the weather turns cold. These include:
- When a freeze is expected, slowly run one or two faucets to keep water moving through the lines.
- Outdoor hoses and their connection to water sources are particularly vulnerable to freezing weather. Goettl Master Plumber Gary Eisenhauer advises consumers to unscrew hoses from the outdoor facet to allow for drainage and keep outside hose bibs open to allow water to drain.
- All outside pipes and hose spigots should be insulated as best as possible. This is easy to do with the purchase of an installation kit from your local hardware store.
- Pipes running against exterior walls, like those in kitchens, are often subject to freezing and typically have little to no insulation. Keep cabinets under kitchen and bathrooms sinks open to allow for warm air flow to prevent freezing.
- Pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics and near garages are also susceptible to damage from cold. Take special care to insulate these areas.
- Heat tape is a great product to insulate water pipe. These “pipe sleeves” could be as simple as newspaper wrapped around pipes to help keep them warm and insulated.
- During cold spells, we recommend keeping your thermostat set at the same temperature during the night and day—this helps regulate temperatures and prevent unwanted expansion.

Great review for Goettl Plumbing.We had an blockage in our sewer line.Tyler Leija was dispatched the same day, and found the blockage using a camera tool.He cleared the blockage temporarily.The actual fix would require digging up and replacing the bad area of pipe.Paulo "Adrian" Dado and his crew came out the next day with backhoe, dug up the area, and replaced the section of pipe.The next day, after inspection, Adrian and his crew filled in the hole and then cleaned up the area.This is a brief description. There was A LOT of work involved.Very professional work.

Billy and John were awesome. Set up everything perfectly and went the extra mile to take care of some additional needs. Definitely the best A/C experience yet.Our tech Jorge that came out the day before helped quickly assess the situation and get us set up for a new system and water heater. Jorge was very friendly, would highly recommend!

Had Jesus come out and inspect my AC unit after it stopped working and he really hit the mark on creating a friendly professional environment and helped me through this stressful process and to choose the correct path that worked best for me. Everyone from the technicians to the crew who came out and installed my new unit were absolutely incredible and left no trace of them being here working. Would absolutely recommend for any and all services they provide for your home and will be calling them again when we need help.

Darren guerra was great, gave us several options and explained in full detail what needed to be done. Very neat and clean in his work. And finished the job in a timely manner. Very happy overall with everything from start to finish. I did think the price was a little high though but considering it was getting late and didn't have much options.Will definitely call and useGoettle again and I will ask if Darrean could help again.

Also Tyler was very down to earth, easy to talk to, he was obviously very intelligent and it was clear he was a master of his trade! Thank you Tyler, I would recommend Tyler to everyone! He is definitely an asset to the company.
