Cold Weather and Plumbing Pipes

As we start to see temperatures below freezing.. 🥶

Don't forget to protect your pipes!

Freezing pipes can be a nightmare. When preparing for cold weather, you’ll want to disconnect all of your outdoor hoses from the spigots, drain them, and store them either in a shed or in your garage. Then, secure each outdoor spigot with an insulated sleeve or foam faucet cover. This helps keep the spigot from freezing.

It's also important to insulate your pipes, so they don’t freeze and burst. Take special care to make sure the pipes along the house’s exterior are well-insulated since they’re closer to the freezing weather.
