As the cold season approaches, we at Schaible’s Plumbing & Heating Inc. want to help you protect your home from costly winter damage.

When it comes to plumbing in Somerville, winterizing is one of the smartest preventative measures you can take.
When water freezes, it expands. That expansion can crack pipes, damage fixtures, and even cause flooding once everything thaws. The good news?
