Prevention is key to avoiding frozen pipes inside your home!

• Open kitchen and bathroom cabinets to allow warmer room temperatures to flow in and circulate around pipes.
• Keep water moving through your plumbing by leaving a faucet dripping.
• If you will be out of town, leave the thermostat on.
• Unhook any hoses connected to outside faucets and store them indoors or in the garage during the winter months.
• Install insulated covers over outside faucets.
• Know where the main shut off valve is in your home in case you ever need it.
• NEVER use an open flame device to thaw a frozen pipe!
