As the Holidays are vastly approaching, the wintry weather
also likes to make an appearance. With this weather can come many hazards. One
of the biggest insurance claims during the winter has to do with bursting
pipes. So this holiday season, we have decided to give you some tips on how to
prevent frozen or bursting pipes.
- Look for and seal air leaks around pipes.
- Keep garage door closed if your water supply lines are in
the garage.
- Open cabinets to help warmer air circulate around pipes.
- When weather outside is close to freezing temperatures,
let cold water drip from your faucets. Running this water helps prevent them
from freezing
-Try to keep thermostat temperature consistent both day and
night
-If you leave your home for an extended period of time, set
the temperature on your thermostat to go no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Follow these steps to keep your holidays bright. From all of
