Tips to Avoid Frozen Pipes

Before Cold Weather Sets In:

  • Make sure all irrigation systems and hose valves are turned off and drained. 
  • Fix drafty windows and plug drafts  around doors to prevent cold air from reaching pipes. 
  • Identify where the shut off valve is inside of your home. 
  • Protect your pipes. Wrap any pipes in areas susceptible to cold. 

When Temperatures Stay Below Freezing:

  • If pipes run through cabinets, open the doors to let warmer room temperatures flow in. 
  • Keep water moving through the pipes by allowing a small trickle of water to run.
