Frozen Pipe Protection

Once again we are having a cold spell and frozen pipes will follow.  To prevent frozen pipes you need to follow a few simple tips for Frozen Pipe Protection.  Insulate any exposed pipes in your garage, basement or crawl space.  If you have a garden hose attached to an outdoor faucet, disconnect it and cover/insulate the faucet.  You can purchase a foam cover at any hardware or home improvement store.  Next – open the cabinet doors under all sinks to allow warm air to circulate.  Turn your heat up a few degrees and leave it at the same temperature 24/7 till the cold spell ends. All of these tips will cost less than calling the plumber because of frozen pipes.
