As winter temperatures drop, homeowners face a major risk: frozen pipes. When water freezes inside pipes, it expands, often causing cracks or bursts. The result? Interrupted water supply, flooding, and costly water damage.
At RemediH2O, we know how stressful and expensive water damage can be. That’s why we’re here to help you prevent frozen pipes, and provide 24/7 emergency flood cleanup and restoration if the worst happens.
Here are some practical steps to protect your home this winter:
1. Insulate Your Pipes
Pipes in unheated areas such as attics, basements, crawl spaces, and garages are most likely to freeze. Wrapping them in foam or fiberglass insulation is a quick, affordable way to keep them warmer and reduce the risk of bursting.
2. Let Faucets Drip During Freezes
When the temperature drops below freezing, allow faucets to drip slightly. This keeps water moving, relieves pressure, and helps prevent ice blockages inside your pipes, especially for lines connected to uninsulated or exterior walls.
3. Seal Cracks and Drafts
Cold air sneaking in through gaps around doors, windows, and foundations can chill nearby pipes. Sealing these cracks helps maintain a warmer environment and protects your plumbing.
4. Keep Indoor Temperatures Steady
Avoid turning your thermostat too low when you’re away. Maintain at least 55°F indoors to keep pipes warm, especially in basements, laundry rooms, and other areas where pipes are exposed.
