When winter comes we usually enjoy many traditions with our friends, family and loved ones. Frozen pipes are not one of the traditions we want to include in those festivities. In winter, frozen pipes can easily become an issue if precautions aren’t taken to prevent them. You can easily reduce the risk of frozen pipes by preparing for the cold weather before it strikes.

How Can I Prevent Pipes From Freezing?
- Allow your cold water to trickle from your faucet. This allows water to move through your pipes and reduces the risk of freezing.
- Allow warm air to circulate around pipes if possible. Open cabinets under the sink to help allow warm air to circulate.
- If you have a basement, make sure windows & doors are sealed properly and ensure proper weather stripping.
- Make sure your pipes are insulated – external & exposed pipes.
- Completely drain your sprinkler system and hoses before the winter season starts. Also, disconnect hoses and water spigots.
- Make sure your attic is sealed and insulated.
- Consider installing storm windows and protective plastic coverings for colder areas
- For colder areas consider installing protective coverings and storm windows.
