What To Do About Freezing Pipes in Winter

frozen pipes in winter

With temperatures starting to get cooler the possibility of your pipes freezing goes up. No one wants to deal with frozen pipes but there are thing you can do to prevent your pipes from freezing!

 

How to prevent pipes from freezing

Your pipes can freeze when temperatures outside get below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. You can help keep your pipes from freezing in many different ways.

  1. Open your cabinets

    Open your kitchen or bathroom cabinets to get warm air circulating around those pipes. This warm air can help prevent your pipes from freezing and bursting. If you are expecting a particularly cold night it’s a good idea to open up the cabinets before you go to bed and leave them open overnight.

  2. Let your faucets drip

    Moving water is harder to freeze than water that is sitting still. By allowing your water to run just a little bit, it can help prevent the water from freezing and bursting the pipe. You don’t need to turn the water on much, just a little drip.

  3. Keep your home a consistent temperature

    Keeping your home warm during the winter can help prevent pipes from freezing. Make sure there is no outside air getting in by sealing cracks or holes. Keep your heat running and keep inside doors open to allow the house to stay a consistent temperature. All of these things help keep your pipes warm and reduce the probability for frozen pipes.
