Mr. Rooter Freeze Proof Outdoor Faucets

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) June 01, 2012 -- Some plumbing jobs you just want to do in the summer; Mr. Rooter refers to this as, preventive maintenance. “A drip from an outdoor faucet could result in broken pipes,” according to Bob Beall, president of Mr. Rooter Plumbing in Beaver, Cranberry, Sharon, Pittsburgh, Washington and Westmoreland Pennsylvania. In Youngstown Ohio, as well as the Southeastern region in Pennsylvania, according to the most referred plumber, it gets very cold during the winter months which leads to many emergency calls that are addressed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Replacing the washer in an outdoor freeze-proof faucet is repaired differently. According to Beall, “The difference is taking apart one of these devices, specially built to prevent freezing in sub-zero weather. “The packing nut and stem require several extra steps to disassemble.”
