Tips To Help Protect Your Home From Frozen Water Lines

Monday, January 4th, 2010

With no immediate warm-up in the near future, here are a couple of tips to help protect your home from frozen water lines.

 

*Disconnect all hoses from your outside faucets.

*If you have a water heater in your garage, keep your garage door closed and make sure it closes completely when you come and go.

*Seal any air leak with foam insulation.

*If your kitchen sink is along an outside wall, open the cabinets to let in the warm air. BE SURE to remove anything unsafe that children or pets can get into.

*Slightly open the kitchen valve to let the smallest stream of water run overnight.

 

Also, know where the main shut-off is to your water in case you have to turn your water off in case of emergency.
