Seasonal plumbing for lake houses and cabins

Everything here is for a house that sits empty part of the year.

Spring opening
Water on slowly, every fixture run, the water heater refilled, outdoor taps and the dock line opened.
See the calendar
Fall closing
Lines drained and blown out, antifreeze in the traps, the heater, pump and tank drained, the shutoff tagged.
See the calendar
Lake pumps and wells
Intake lines, jet pumps, pressure tanks and filters, opened, tested and closed for the winter.
Docks, showers and yards
Dock hydrants, outdoor showers and hose bibs on every visit. Irrigation can be added.
Water heaters
Drain, flush and refill at opening and closing. When one fails, we replace it with a written price first.
Winter checks
A walk-through of a cold house, with photos by text, through the caretaker plans.

Do this first

If you arrive to a wet floor

Stay calm, stay dry and do these in order. Then text us.

01
Shut off the main
Our tag on the shutoff says where it is. If the floor is wet around the electrical panel, leave the house and call the power company.
02
Open one low tap
A tap in the lowest part of the house lets the lines drain.
03
Take photos
The pipe, the floor and the ceiling below. You'll want them for your insurance company, too.
04
Text us the photos
Send them to (231) 555-0100 and tell us the lake or road. We'll tell you when we can be there.
05
Leave the water off
Don't turn it back on until a plumber has looked at the line.

Tell us what's hooked up and we'll tell you what a visit covers before you book.
