How To Avoid A Burst Pipe This Winter

Not taking the proper precautions with your pipes, during the winter months, can lead to serious damage if a pipe bursts. By taking the right action now, you can avoid a potentially costly situation in the future, especially with plummeting temperatures. What can you do to keep your pipes from freezing this winter? Let us help you prevent a burst pipe with these tips below!

  • Insulate Your Pipes
    Insulate Your Pipes
    Insulating your pipes is the first line of defense against the cold. Adding a foam insulation to the pipe's exterior will help protect the pipes from freezing.
  • Keep A Slow Drip Going

    If your pipes are prone to being cold or have nothing to heat them, turn your sink on to have a slow drip to keep the water moving.
  • Keep The Temperature Above 55 degrees.

    You don't need to heat the entire house up to ensure your pipes stay warm. Keep your heat around 55 degrees or higher will help keep the pipes warm.
  • Maintain A Consistent Temperature
    Maintain A Consistent Temperature
    When you set the heat, keep it the same during the day and the night. This will end up saving you money on your heating as well since you're not constantly changing the temperature.
  • Insulate Exterior Water Sources
    Insulate Exterior Water Sources
    Disconnect any hoses that are still attached to the taps & insulate the water source. This will keep both the hose and the spigot's pipe safe from freezing.
  • Locate The Shut-Off Valve
    Locate The Shut-Off Valve
    If a pipe bursts close to the main valve, to minimize potential damage locate the shut-off valve immediately to stop the flow of water.
