Frozen pipes can burst, causing expensive damage. Prevent this by:
Insulating pipes – Use foam pipe insulation on exposed pipes.
Letting faucets drip – A slight trickle keeps water moving, preventing freezing.
Opening cabinet doors – Allow warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks.
Sealing gaps – Use caulk to seal cracks that let cold air in.
Keeping the thermostat above 55°F – Even when you’re away, this prevents freezing.
A little prevention can save you big repair costs!
