How Can You Prevent Frozen Pipes?
Ever hear an old-timer say “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?” They’re right! The best way to deal with frozen pipes is to stop them from freezing in the first place.
● Wrap exposed pipes in insulation or heat tape, especially in chilly spots like
basements, attics, or garages.
● Seal up any drafts around windows, doors, or walls to keep the cold air out.
● Keep your home warm, even if you’re away. A consistent temperature can make a
big difference.
● Let your faucets drip a little during freezing weather. It relieves pressure and can
help prevent freezing.
● Don’t forget to disconnect and store outdoor hoses before winter hits.
