Being in this area means lower temperature with pipes that aren't properly maintainenced. During these months pipes are susceptible to bursting. Here are a few tips to avoid bursting pipes:

Outdoor:

  • Wrap Outside faucets
  • Caulk around pipes where they enter the house.
  • Disconnect garden hoses
  • Drain in-ground sprinkler systems

Indoor:

  • Let a stream of water run, if the temperature dips below freezing
  • Open Cupboard doors in the kitchen and bathrooms.
