Well, let’s dive right in. Start your morning right. 👇

Winter in the Coulee Region can be tough on our homes, and one of the sneakiest culprits for costly damage is a frozen faucet. 💧 A burst pipe isn’t just inconvenient—it can wreck a basement or living space in no time.

That’s why I want to point you toward a local company I trust: Advanced Plumbing Systems. They can set you up with frost-free faucets and separate shut-off valves, which are the simplest way to prevent bursts and protect your home this winter.

They’re local folks, right here in our community, and they’ll treat you fairly. If you’ve been meaning to get this taken care of before the temps dip, now’s the time.

👉 Call (608) 796-9978 or visit plumberlacrossewi.com today to schedule your appointment before the first hard freeze.

Protect your home, save yourself stress, and support a great local business while you’re at it.

Here’s what I was listening to when I wrote this email.👇

Today’s prompt:

Many pet owners worry that insurance won’t cover everything, especially routine care or pre-existing conditions. While that’s true in many cases, most insurers now offer wellness add-ons for preventive care like vaccines, dental cleanings, and check-ups, giving you more complete coverage. View Money’s pet insurance list to find plans for as low as $10 a month.
