Its supposed to get real cold tonight so make sure this doesnt happen to your pipes! Here are some small things you can do to prevent freezeups:
• Turn up the heat.
• Set up fans to blow heat into cold rooms.
• Open vanity or cabinet doors so warm air can reach the pipes under sinks.
• If you have exposed pipes inside closets or pantries, leave doors open.
• Disconnect garden hoses from outdoor faucets. Even frostproof outdoor faucets can burst if a hose is connected.
• Keep the garage door closed.
• If you have reduced water flow, heat the most vulnerable pipes (usually in basements and crawl spaces or near exterior walls) with a hairdryer. Leave the faucet on while you apply heat. As you melt ice, the flow will increase.
