Belmont Plumber Shares Fall Drain Tips to Help Prevent Winter Emergencies

As colder weather moves into Belmont, one local plumbing company is reminding residents not to overlook an important part of winter prep: their drains. Rhino Rooter recently shared a helpful fall-to-winter drain maintenance guide, offering simple steps homeowners can take now to avoid clogs, backups, and frozen pipes later in the season.

Owner Dave de la Roca says most winter plumbing emergencies, from slow drains to burst pipes, start with issues that could have been prevented in the fall. With leaves filling gutters, early freezes on the way, and holiday gatherings increasing indoor water use, even quick checks like cleaning outdoor grates or testing your sump pump can make a big difference.

In towns like Belmont, Watertown, and Arlington, where many homes have older plumbing systems, seasonal drain maintenance is especially important. A professional cleaning before winter can help clear buildup and reduce the risk of basement flooding or frozen lines during cold snaps.

Rhino Rooter has been serving Belmont and the Greater Boston area for over 16 years and offers 24/7 emergency service for local homeowners.
