What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Disconnects, drains and stores garden hoses so water can't back up into the spigot.
- Fits insulated covers over each outdoor faucet and seals them snug to the siding.
- Shows you where the interior shutoff for each outdoor faucet is and leaves the outside valve open to drain.
How it works
- Locate every outdoor faucet and the indoor valve that supplies it.
- Remove hoses, then close the indoor valve and open the outside faucet so the line drains.
- Install an insulated faucet cover on each spigot and check the fit against the wall.
- Referred out: replacing a spigot with a frost-free model, fixing a leaking valve or a split line goes to a licensed plumber.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; once approved, covers go on and you get a short list of which valves were closed.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
