Cold Weather Preparedness Tips for Your Home
Prevent Frozen or Burst Pipes
Extreme cold temperatures can cause pipes to freeze or burst, leading to costly repairs. Take these simple steps to protect your home:
- Locate Your Water Shut-Off Valves:
- Found near your water heater, utility closets, under sinks, or in the garage.
- When Temperatures Drop Below 20°F:
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.
- Let hot and cold water drip slowly overnight to prevent freezing.
- Keep your thermostat at 60°F or higher at all times.
