It’s a chilly Colorado morning, and https://FixItRadio.com is back with John Rush and Larry Unger—ready to tackle the kind of home prep that saves you from winter disasters. But here’s the question: how prepared are you? Do you know when to shut off your sprinklers, or could your home be one cold snap away from a burst pipe? From unpredictable weather to high-tech solutions, the hosts dig into the surprising tools that could protect your home—and your wallet. What if you could hear a leak before it floods your house? Meet LeakBot, the AI-powered water sensor that listens through your pipes, detects problems, and could even lower your insurance bill. Listeners chime in with their own solutions—like the PumpTech shutoff system that saved one caller from a $25,000 septic disaster. And it doesn’t stop there. Ever heard of Eye on Water or Moen’s FLO system? These smart apps can track leaks in real time, and in some cases, shut the water off for you with a single tap. But is high-tech worth the price, or can a $15 crawlspace thermometer do the same job? The conversation turns practical, even nostalgic, as John and Larry debate PEX vs. copper plumbing—cost versus reliability in the fight against frozen pipes. From AI to old-school craftsmanship, this episode blends real-life wisdom with modern innovation. If you own a home—or ever plan to—you’ll want to hear how a few simple habits could keep winter from wreaking havoc on everything you’ve built. Because when the temperature drops, prevention isn’t just smart—it’s survival.
