It has been a long time since Missouri has experienced such drastically cold weather. During such a large lapse of time between these harsh subzero temperatures, it’s easy to forget how fragile our plumbing pipes can be, and how simple it can be to protect them. Frozen pipes can be a huge pain and a very large expense to repair. So during these next few weeks, be sure to take these simple precautions to save yourself some time, some money, and one huge headache…
1) Keep cabinet doors open to any plumbing running along any exterior walls.
2) Keep faucets in the home running with just a slight drip coming out. This will keep movement in the pipes and prevent them from freezing.
3) Lastly, refamiliarize yourself with where your main water shut off valve is. Should you experience any frozen pipes, this will be the first place you want to run to and turn off in order to get the water to stop and to minimize damage.
Follow these three important & easy steps and you should be more than prepared to protect your home, your sanity, and this wonderful new year!!!
