Seasons

Hard freezes split hose bibs and supply lines in outside walls, and spring storms load sump pits and sewer laterals. Start with the winterizing and spring checklists.

Key point

Plain notes from the job for Burlington homeowners: what you can safely fix with a plunger or a wrench, and where it is time to call the trade.

Basements

Floor drains, sump pump testing, backwater valves and the City subsidy programs that have helped pay for them; check the current terms before you book.
