Okay, folks, getting a lot of questions about protecting your pipes during this freeze! 🥶🚰 So here's a breakdown to help my fellow Floridians out. Please share this around! 🙏

🥶🚰 FLORIDA FREEZE PREP: HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PIPES (PLEASE READ & SHARE) 🚰🥶

Yeah, I know, Florida and freezes don't seem to go together, but these temps are NO joke! A lot of our homes just aren't built for this kind of cold. Here's the lowdown:

❄️ WHY FLORIDA PIPES FREEZE SO EASILY

Pipes are often in attics, garages, and exterior walls.
Not a lot of insulation around pipes here.
Multiple freezing nights? Big trouble.

❗️BLOCK HOMES ARE NOT IMMUNE! The pipes are still vulnerable.

🚰 SHOULD YOU DRIP FAUCETS?

YES! In most cases. Moving water helps.

✅ Who should drip:

Pipes in exterior walls
Older/mobile homes
Well water peeps
Multiple freezing nights
Temps below 28–30°F for hours

❌ Who might not:

Newer homes with interior plumbing
Briefly touching 32°F

💧 HOW MANY FAUCETS?

Don't go crazy!

✔️ 1–2 total

✔️ HOT & COLD

✔️ Farthest from where water enters

💦 Drip rate:

A STEADY drip or small stream. Not just a plink every few seconds!

🧱 CITY WATER & BLOCK HOMES

Still gotta be careful! Pipes can freeze in those attics and garages! Drip and insulate if it's gonna be below freezing for a while.

🚜 WELL WATER & PUMP SYSTEMS (PAY ATTENTION!)

Higher risk!

Insulate well heads, tanks, and exposed pipes
Safe heat source in pump houses
Drip those indoor faucets
Keep water circulating if you can
⚠️ If the power goes out, pipes can freeze FAST! Insulation is key!

🌱 EXTRA PROTECTION:

Disconnect & cover outdoor spigots
Insulate exposed pipes
Open cabinet doors under sinks
Keep indoor temp above 55°F
Use space heaters safely

🚫 WHAT NOT TO DO:

❌ Don’t leave hoses connected

❌ Don’t drip only hot or cold

❌ Don’t shut off water unless you fully drain pipes

❌ Don’t assume “Florida homes are fine”

🧊 AFTER THE FREEZE:

Slowly return faucets to normal
Check for leaks!
Some bursts don't show up right away!

📝 QUICK TAKEAWAY:

✔️ Drip 1–2 faucets (hot & cold)

✔️ Protect outdoor/exposed pipes

✔️ Well systems = extra care

✔️ Multi-night freezes = high risk

Stay safe and warm out there, friends! A little prep now can save you a LOT of money and hassle later. Share this with your neighbors! 🥶🏡

Without proper representation, there may be additional insurance coverage you’re entitled to that you may not be aware. 💰

Ask An Adjuster was able to recover an extra $1 million dollars for Harvey’s Naples community, even after they had been told by that they were already paid everything they were owed.

Why pay out of pocket for if they should be covered by your insurance company?
