Winter Plumbing Prep: How to Prevent Frozen Pipes and Costly Repairs

Frozen pipes can burst, causing expensive damage. Prevent this by:

• Insulating pipes – Use foam pipe insulation on exposed pipes.

• Letting faucets drip – A slight trickle keeps water moving, preventing freezing.

• Opening cabinet doors – Allow warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks.

• Sealing gaps – Use caulk to seal cracks that let cold air in.

• Keeping the thermostat above 55°F – Even when you’re away, this prevents freezing.

A little prevention can save you big repair costs!
