Cold Weather Home Tips – Prevent Burst Pipes
Extended freezing temperatures can put your home at risk. Protect it with these simple steps:
🛠 Insulate pipes – Wrap exposed pipes in attics, garages, crawlspaces, and along exterior walls.
🏠 Seal drafts – Check gaps around plumbing lines, vents, and exterior walls.
💧 Winterize outdoor water – Drain hoses, irrigation lines, and sprinklers.
🌡 Keep heat on & water flowing – Maintain 55°F or higher; let a faucet drip during extreme cold.
🚰 Know your water main shutoff – Quick action can prevent major damage.
🏡 Vacant homes – Keep heat on, drain or winterize water systems, and check properties during cold snaps.
Taking these precautions now can save you from headaches and costly repairs later!
