Frigid temperatures increase the risk of frozen pipes. Take these precautions to prevent damage to your personal property and your home’s plumbing system:
- Keep your home at 58°F or higher, even when you’re away.
- Open cabinet doors below sinks to let warm air circulate around pipes.
- Locate the main water shutoff and the valves on your water heater.
- Let a faucet drip slightly with lukewarm water to prevent freezing.
- Check faucet water flow before bed and when you wake up for any signs of freezing.
