PROTECT YOUR PIPES IN THE COLD...
With temperatures dropping to 20 below or colder and highs only around 10 below, this is the kind of cold that can cause real problems, especially if you live in a mobile home or an older house that isn’t well insulated.
Here are a few quick tips to help prevent frozen pipes:
✅ Let faucets drip (a slow drip helps keep water moving)
✅ Open cabinet doors under sinks so warm air can reach the pipes
✅ Don’t lower your thermostat overnight — when the house cools down, cold air can find the drafty spots and weak points, and that’s when pipes in exterior walls or crawlspaces can freeze fast
✅ If your sink is on an exterior wall: open cabinets + let it drip
✅ Close the garage door to protect plumbing in cold spots
✅ Know the location of your main water shutoff valve (just in case there’s an emergency)
If you notice low water flow or frost on pipes, don’t wait, take action early before it turns into a bigger mess.
Stay warm and stay safe.
