Frozen Pipes

DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU !

Help prevent extensive water damage from frozen pipes. When the temperature drops below 32 degrees, water pipes will freeze and burst. Byb following these important tips, these actions may decrease the possibility of major water damage from a broken pipe.

1) Maintain heat temperature at least 65 degrees.

2) Open cabinet and closet doors that have plumbing located within and especially if located along an exterior house/building wall. 

3) Keep pipe water moving by allowing water to slowly drip. Moving water freezes at a lower temperature.

4) Close inside water valves supplying water to outside hose bids/faucets.

5) Periodically, walk throughout your house/building and inspect for leaking water. This inspection is also important when the temperature rises above freezing. Some burst/frozen pipes do not leak until the ice thaws with rising temperatures.
