🧊 Leaving garden hoses attached during cold snaps can trigger major indoor wall leaks!
When water gets trapped inside spigots, freezing temperatures can split pipes hidden deep inside your walls. The worst part? You won't know until it thaws and causes expensive water damage.
Quick 3-Step Hose Bibb Checkup:
🔌 Disconnect & Drain: Remove all hoses, splitters, and timers.
💧 Check for Drips: Ensure the faucet turns off completely without leaking.
❄️ Cover Up: Install insulated spigot covers for extra protection.
