winter close ups & plumbing repair

steven vaccaro · 09-23-2014, 02:59 PM

In the Laconia area, are there any suggested companies that perform winter close up and some plumbing on our cottage? Normally we keep it open, but with the price of propane these days, its just not worth it.

If the cottage is setup properly, you should be able to do it! if not any plumber can do it for you. Just make sure the are bonded and guarantee no problems when you open up the cottage.

Give Gary Butler a call, 228-8441 or 387-7549.
Gary has done plumbing for us for the last 30 years, both up here at the lake and at home in Pembroke, NH.
When we first purchased our cottage up here, he would close it down for us, drain all the pipes etc, then get everything started in the spring.
I then had him replace all of the copper pipes with plastic and set it up so it easily drains. I now do the job myself, but again I highly recommend the guy.

Hope this helps,
Bill
