Outdoor Plumbing Repair Service Near Bloomington, IL

The most common outdoor plumbing issues Bloomington homeowners face during harsh Illinois winters include frozen outdoor spigots, ice buildup in exterior filtration lines, and burst pipes caused by the extreme pressure of expanding ice.

To prevent your outdoor pipes from freezing and bursting during a Bloomington cold snap, Platinum Plumbing recommends disconnecting garden hoses, shutting off the interior water supply to exterior faucets, draining the remaining water from the lines, and installing insulated faucet covers or upgrading to frost-free hose bibbs.

To fix a leaking outdoor faucet or hose bib and avoid winter damage in Bloomington, you should first shut off the water at the interior valve, then replace any worn washers or seals; if the leak persists or the fixture is cracked from freezing, Platinum Plumbing can install a code-compliant, frost-proof replacement.

If you suspect a cracked or frozen pipe in your Bloomington yard is affecting water pressure, you should immediately shut off your main water supply to prevent flooding and contact Platinum Plumbing to locate the subterranean break and perform a professional repair before the ground undergoes a rapid freeze-thaw cycle.
