We will be experiencing temperatures below freezing every night this week! We are also forecasted for winter weather the next two days. Here are some helpful tips to help protect your plumbing this winter!
‼️Now is the time to prepare for the winter weather beginning this weekend‼️
‼️PREVENT FROZEN PIPES‼️
❄️Set home thermostats above 55 degrees during cold weather.
❄️Drip cold water in farthest faucet from your main valve. Moving water keeps pipes from freezing.
❄️Find shut off valves for emergencies.
❄️Insulate pipes in unheated areas.
❄️Open cupboards and vanities to warm pipes.
❄️Open the outside spigots to allow to drain water out. Cover them with a winter faucet cover. I have a few on hand if you’re unable to find any and need them!
❄️Keep outsides valve open so water remaining in the pipe can expand without causing a break.
❄️Turn off water to outside spigots and drain all water from hoses and store them away
❄️ Mark your water meters! Once the snow accumulates, sometimes the hardest part to restoring your water is locating the water meter! As wet as the ground already is, a long branch sticking in the ground as a marker will help us locate it.
