Well, Alaska… it was fun while it lasted! The leaves are falling, the temperatures are dropping, and winter is knocking on the door. Before you know it, we'll be scraping windshields and shoveling snow.
But as we dig out our winter coats and snow boots, let's not forget our homes. Frozen pipes are no fun, and a burst pipe can quickly turn a cozy winter day into a watery mess! Here are 5 simple ways to help keep your pipes happy this winter:
❄️ Wrap them up! Insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages, and other chilly areas.
❄️ Put those garden hoses away! Disconnect hoses and winterize outdoor faucets before the deep freeze.
❄️ Keep things cozy! Maintain a consistent indoor temperature, even when you're away.
❄️ Let the warm air in! In extreme cold, open cabinet doors so warm air can reach pipes under sinks.
❄️ Know where to shut it off! Locate your main water shut-off valve, so you're ready if trouble strikes.
A little preparation now can help you avoid a big headache when the temperatures really start to drop! And if the unthinkable happens and a frozen pipe turns into a water-damage emergency, remember…
When disaster strikes, Bema has your back.
