Frozen Water Pipes
• Turn off water to outside faucets, drain and leave faucets open.
• Make sure all basement windows are securely closed. Repair broken panes.
• Repair cracks or holes in the foundation. Insulate along floor joists.
• Make sure all rooms containing water pipes are kept above freezing, especially if house will be vacant.
• During sub zero weather, leave cabinet doors open under sinks, especially if pipes are on an outside wall.
• If the water meter is enclosed in a cabinet, leave the door open so that heat can circulate during the winter months.
If your water pipes freeze, we recommend using a hair drier to thaw them. Never use a blowtorch or any open flame to thaw pipes.
