IMPORTANT STEPS TO TAKE DURING LOW TEMPERATURES AS A HOMEOWNER

Insulate pipes:

Wrap exposed pipes, particularly those in unheated areas like basements or garages, with pipe insulation to prevent heat loss and freezing. 

Let faucets drip:

Slightly open faucets, especially those near exterior walls, to allow a small stream of water to flow, which makes it harder for pipes to freeze. 

Adjust thermostat:

Raise your thermostat temperature to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and prevent pipes from freezing.

Close garage doors:

If your garage is attached, keep the door closed to prevent cold air from entering your home and impacting pipes in the garage. 

Locate water shut-off valve:

Know where your main water shut-off valve is located so you can quickly turn off water supply in case of a burst pipe. 

Seal cracks:

Check for and seal any cracks around exterior walls and foundation near water pipes with caulk to prevent drafts.
