❄️ Cold Weather Prevention Tips ❄️
From your favorite Trophy Club plumber

With cold weather expected this weekend, we recommend taking the following steps to help prevent frozen pipes and costly plumbing repairs:

Outdoor Tips
• Cover all outdoor faucets with insulated faucet covers
• Remove all hoses, including those connected to pool fillers or irrigation systems

Indoor Tips
• Allow faucets located on exterior walls to drip slightly if possible
• Drip both hot and cold sides to keep water moving through the pipes

If Power Is Lost
• Increase water flow through faucets to help prevent pipes from freezing
• If you have a tankless water heater and the power goes out:
• Immediately unplug the unit or turn off the breaker
• Open a hot water faucet and increase flow to keep water moving through the unit
• Once power is restored, simply plug the unit back in or flip the breaker back on

Taking these simple precautions can save you thousands of dollars in potential plumbing repairs.

Stay safe, stay warm, and don’t hesitate to call if you need help.
