What that means for a call
Wilson's housing dates to 1983 at the median, with about 46% before 1980. The local winter is mostly mild, which is exactly why a short freeze can catch exposed plumbing. Know where the main valve is and disconnect garden hoses before the first cold night.
Local watch-outs
- A hard freeze is occasional here, which is exactly when exposed pipes catch people out. Find the main shutoff now, before you need it.
- Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
- Pool pumps and heaters work harder in a long hot season. Know the breaker and the shutoff before a problem, and keep the equipment pad clear.
