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.

Close inside valves that control the water supply.

Open the outside spigots to allow to drain water out.

Keep outsides valve open so water remaining in the pipe can expand without causing a break.

When freezing weather is coming, turn off water to outside spigots and drain all water from the line.

Keep pipes from freezing and bursting with these guidelines. — Protect Your Pipes First, check with a neighbor to see if they’re experiencing the same issue. If they have a loss of water too, it may be the result of a main break. But if they have running water, it’s likely your pipes have frozen.
