Cold weather doesn’t cause clogs—but it makes daily plumbing stress feel more urgent. If your sink is slow, your tub backs up, or you’re dealing with a recurring toilet issue, winter is the season to handle it before a small problem becomes water damage.
At Philadelphia Plumbing Experts – Repairs & Installations LLC, we keep it simple: diagnose clearly and restore reliable flow.
Common winter plumbing calls in Philly homes
- kitchen drains slowing down (grease + buildup)
- bathroom sink and tub backups
- running toilets or weak flush performance
- leaking shutoffs and worn supply lines
- pressure changes and noisy pipes
- recurring clogs that signal vent or line issues
Why “quick fixes” fail
If a drain keeps clogging, it usually means:
- buildup wasn’t fully cleared
- the line has a slope or venting problem
- a partial obstruction remains
- the fixture setup is contributing to repeat blockages
A real repair means addressing the cause.
Smart preventative upgrades (fast ROI)
- replace aging shutoff valves
- update supply lines under sinks
- correct small leaks before they rot cabinets
- confirm proper venting where issues repeat
- install fixtures with proper connections and support
