Preventing Your Outside Tap from Freezing
Winter chills shouldn't stop you from enjoying a beautiful garden. Traditional taps can burst when water freezes inside them, causing costly repairs and water damage. Here at 1Point Plumbing & Heating, we recommend frost-proof taps. These clever taps feature a mechanism that allows the water to drain from the tap itself when turned off, preventing any freezing and potential damage. Invest in a frost-proof tap and enjoy peace of mind throughout the year.
Keeping Your Outside Tap From Flooding the House
Accidental flooding can be a nightmare! Here at 1Point Plumbing & Heating, we ensure your outside tap installation includes a shut-off valve. This valve allows you to isolate the water supply to the tap, preventing uncontrolled flow and potential flooding, especially during maintenance or repairs. We also prioritize proper installation techniques to minimize the risk of leaks.
At 1Point Plumbing & Heating, we offer transparent and competitive pricing for outside tap installations in Glasgow. The final cost depends on a few factors:
-
Type of Tap: Standard taps are generally more affordable, while frost-proof taps offer added protection against freezing.
-
Hot or Cold Water Supply: Hot water taps provide added convenience, but come at a slightly higher cost.
-
Existing pipework: Readily accessible plumbing will influence installation time and cost.
