12/19/2024 (Permalink)

As the colder weather settles in it's a good time to check on the pipes in your home or business. There are some simple things you can do to protect your pipes. Pipes can sometimes freeze at the worst time, like while you are sleeping. Many times during the colder season temperatures drop quickly overnight.
What You Can Do
First, check to ensure your pipes are insulated. Exposed pipes are the most likely to freeze. The more you insulation you use, the better protected your pipes will be.
Second, let warm water trickle to help keep your pipes from freezing.
Third, keep a steady temperature in your home or business. This will put less strain on your furnace.
