A heads-up to all our clients: the cold weather advisory in our area can be dangerous not only for people and pets, but also for your home and vehicles. A little preparation can go a long way in preventing costly damage or insurance claims later.
A few smart steps to stay protected:
• Let faucets drip slightly to keep water moving and reduce the risk of frozen pipes.
• Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing.
• Keep your thermostat consistent, even overnight—sudden drops can cause pipes to freeze.
• Disconnect outdoor hoses and ensure exterior spigots are shut off.
• Know where your main water shut‑off valve is, just in case a pipe does burst.
• Check space heaters for proper clearance and never leave them unattended.
• Bring pets inside and limit time outdoors for everyone.
Stay warm, stay safe, and reach out if you have questions about protecting your home or policy during extreme cold.
When temperatures drop, your pipes shouldn't have to pay the price.
