We\u2019re not just talking about bringing out your favorite blankets, getting some fall scents burning, or even tuning up your heater. All these things are great, but today we\u2019d like to focus on your plumbing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your plumbing goes through a lot throughout the year and this is especially important in winter. If the cold weather gets the best of you and you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/service-areas\/cranberry-township-hvac-plumbing-electrical\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">plumber in Cranberry Township, PA<\/a>, then we want to help you get the services you need.

This is why it\u2019s so important to make sure that it\u2019s in great condition through the winter. Your sump pump might even start working in late winter because of melting snow and ice. Check in with your sump pump to make sure it\u2019s working properly before all this. The best thing to do is to get your sump pump maintained by a professional and make sure that you have quality service from our team members.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frozen Pipes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Frozen pipes are a threat we face due to our cold weather in Cranberry Township.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your pipes indoors can freeze. Make sure that you\u2019re opening cabinets to let the pipes underneath your sinks get expose to the home&#8217;s heated air.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdoor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s more likely for your pipes outdoors to freeze. If you run into this problem, make sure you contact a professional immediately to rectify the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Heater Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you having trouble with your home\u2019s water heater? You don\u2019t want to ever have to struggle with your water heater. This is an appliance in your home that tends to work overtime. If there\u2019s any trouble going on with your system, you\u2019re going to notice and it\u2019s going to create major issues. We want to help you with your water heater services as soon as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frozen Well Pumps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many homeowners in our area get their water from a well. While this can be a great way to supply water to your home, there are small problems like frozen pumps that can arise in winter. If this happens to you, all you need to do is talk to one of our professionals to rectify this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water Quality Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Water quality issues can happen year-round, but you might really start to notice the problem when you\u2019re spending more time at home staying out of the cold this winter. If you have terrible water quality, there are things you can do to rectify this. We want to help you fix this issue. You can come to us for water conditioners, UV water purifiers, water filters, and water testing services.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Contact Kennihan Plumbing &amp; Heating, Inc. today to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">schedule an appointment<\/a> for your AC care.
