It is time once again to prepare our homes for winter weather. During the colder winter months, one problem encountered by homeowners is frozen pipes. When temperatures dip well below freezing, water pipes, especially those located near exterior walls, can freeze. The water expands, causing pipes to break, resulting in water damage throughout a large portion of the property. Below are some recommendations for preventing frozen pipes during extremely cold temperatures.
1. Keep the heating thermostat set above 60 degrees, even if you are away from the home for a period of time.
2. Where possible, leave interior cabinet doors near water pipes OPEN, allowing the warmer air to circulate around pipes.
3. Leave inside faucets dripping slightly.
4. Disconnect all exterior hoses.
5. DO NOT leave outside water dripping.
