DID YOU KNOW!
Approximately 250,000 homes in the U.S. suffer damage from frozen and burst water pipes annually.
These incidents result in substantial damages, with State Farm reporting over 20,000 claims from 2024 through June 2025 totaling over $628 million, with average claim payments exceeding $30,000.
A single bursted pipe can cause thousands of dollars in damage, with repairs often ranging from $150 to over $2,500 for smaller leaks.
For less than 5 dollars you can save yourself the trouble of having to deal with damages to your home and a long battle with the insurance company, by purchasing a cover for your outdoor faucets around your home. Even old rags or insulated foam pipe wraps work just as great. Keep your faucet running indoor at a light drip to prevent your pipes from freezing.
Stay warm.
