As the last leaves fall and NYC temperatures start to dip, November becomes one of the most important months of the year for home maintenance. While many people are focused on the holidays, savvy homeowners and property managers know that now is the perfect time to prepare plumbing systems for the winter ahead.
At Boris Mechanical, we see a surge of preventable emergencies every December—frozen pipes, broken water heaters, and unexpected gas line issues. Many of those problems could have been avoided with a simple plumbing maintenance check in November.
Why Preventive Plumbing in November Makes Sense
1. Avoid Frozen Pipes
Once temperatures drop below freezing, any exposed or poorly insulated pipe becomes a risk. We can identify vulnerable areas and add insulation before a freeze turns into a flood.
2. Water Heater Tune-Ups
Cold weather means your water heater works overtime. We flush sediment buildup, inspect for wear, and make sure it’s running efficiently—so your hot showers stay hot and your energy bills stay low.
3. Drain & Sewer Line Inspection
Fall leaves and storm runoff can clog drains and sewer lines. A camera inspection in November ensures your system is clear and ready for the increased usage of winter holidays.
4. Heating System & Gas Safety Check
If your home relies on gas for heating or cooking, we recommend a seasonal gas line inspection—especially in older buildings or before heavy holiday use. We’re fully licensed to inspect and repair NYC gas lines safely and compliantly.
One Visit, Multiple Benefits
Preventive maintenance doesn’t just protect against emergencies—it improves efficiency, reduces utility bills, and extends the life of your plumbing and heating systems. At Boris Mechanical, we can inspect your full system in one visit, providing peace of mind before winter begins.
Don’t wait for the first cold snap. Contact Boris Mechanical today to schedule your November plumbing check-up and protect your home or building before winter weather arrives.
