Cold Weather Advice!

Did you know…
 
That frozen pipes can occur even in occupied properties?  Here are some tips for prevention:

• Locate the main water shut off before a broken pipe occurs. 
• Disconnect all hoses; if the water freezes in the hose, it can break the spigot. 
• Most new spigots have a shut off valve inside the house or garage; shut off any spigots with this feature.
• Put spigot covers on all outside faucets.
• Make sure that there is some heat on in the house at all times, including when no one is home.
• Keep the garage door closed so any heat will be kept inside.
• If the temperature drops below 20° during the day, let water trickle in all the faucets.
• In periods of extreme cold, leave cupboard doors open under sinks on exterior walls so the heat will get to the pipes.

Hope this helps, stay warm its cold out there!
