Protect Your Pipes During Freezing Temps!

Freezing temperatures mean you need to make sure your pipes are not vulnerable to the effects of cold weather. Protect your pipes from freezing temperatures. Open interior cabinet doors to expose pipes to warmer air, turn all inside faucets to a slow drip and wrap or cover all exposed outside faucets.

If you’re going out of town, don’t turn your heat off, just turn it down several degrees.

It’s a good idea to insulate your above-ground water pipes, too. Pipes in the crawlspace or basement under your house could be susceptible to a deep freeze, so pipe insulation is always a good idea.

If your attic insulation isn’t great, you should insulate water heater pipes in the attic, as well.
