❄️ Did the cold weather affect your water butt?
With heavy frosts and snow this winter, water butts can crack or weaken—especially if they weren’t emptied before the freeze.

Now’s the perfect time to check for damage to avoid leaks, flooding, or a complete failure, and to ensure your rainwater system is ready for the dry season ahead.
