I'm sure everyone knows that cold weather is coming in this weekend. Starting Saturday we will see low temperatures in the teens and likely close to 48 hours below freezing.
Here is a quick checklist for commercial and residential property owners to prevent property damage:
• Cover outdoor faucets and exposed pipes
• Insulate or protect any plumbing in unheated areas
• Keep the heat on, even if the building is unoccupied
• Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate
• Check irrigation systems and exterior plumbing
• Have a plan in place if power is lost (I.E. Back-up power supply or generator)
Taking these steps can help prevent burst pipes, water damage, and unnecessary claims during freezing conditions.
Stay warm, stay safe, and take care this weekend.
