How To Prevent Your Pipes From Freezing

Even though spring is around the corner, we continue to get hit with very cold fronts that require more than yourself to put on a coat. You also need to protect your pipes, otherwise, they could freeze and burst, which can result in an unfortunate situation.

1. Let cold water drip from faucets served by exposed pipes.
2. Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and night.
3. Keep the garage door closed, especially if there are water supply lines in the garage.
4. Open the cabinet doors in the bathrooms and kitchen to let warmer air circulate around the pipes.
5. Make sure your house has insulation, particularly in the basement, attics, crawl spaces, and exposed water pipes.
