Frozen pipes are a concern every winter. Here are some ways to prevent pipes from freezing in your home or business.

Insulate

It’s important to properly insulate attics, basements and crawl spaces.

Seal

Seal any cracks or openings around windows and doors to prevent cold air from seeping in.

Heat

Keep the heat on, even if you will be away from home.

Let it Drip

If pipes are exposed to the cold, keep water running at a trickle.

Open Cabinets

For plumbing on exterior walls, keep cabinet doors open to allow heat around the pipes.
