Freeze & Drain Tips for Rockwood

Rockwood's older homes sit on clay soil with shallow, freeze-prone service lines, so winterizing is the priority — insulate the exposed and shallow runs, seal drafts, and if a line freezes every year, have us reroute or heat-tape the chronic spot. Keep the slow-draining clay-soil drains clear of grease and debris, and treat any recurring clog as a reason to look at the pipe. Knowing where your main shutoff is — and that it turns — saves you when a shallow line does split in a hard freeze.
