Tips to Keep Your Pipes From Freezing
Freezing temperatures are the leading cause of burst pipes. However there are certain precautions you can take to decrease the chances that your pipes will freeze:
- Increase The Temperature: Even if you’re not home, it’s a good idea to keep the heat on during cold weather.
- Insulate Pipes: Professional pipe insulation is a good way to prevent freezing pipes.
- Seal Cracks and Openings: It’s a good idea to seal any cracks and openings to prevent water from seeping in and freezing.
- Allow Faucet to Drip: An open faucet will alleviate pressure in your pipes and decrease the chances of it bursting.
- Keep Interior Doors Open: Pipes are often located in cabinets. Keeping these doors open will allow warm air to heat up your pipes.
