Plumbing Tip

Tip #2: Winterize your plumbing. Preparing your home for the coldest days of the year takes a little effort, but the preparation can help prevent burst pipes which can lead to major water damage. Purchase pipe insulation to keep your pipes that are in vulnerable areas such as the garage or crawl space, warmer during freezing temps. Make sure you remove your garden hoses from your outside faucets. Turnoff and drain your outside faucet. If it really gets cold, open cabinet doors or let faucets drip on sinks that are on an outside wall.
