Freezing Temperatures and Risk of Pipes Freezing

2/4/2019 (Permalink)

As the temperature starts dropping outside here in Mississippi, you should protect your inside pipes by keeping them warm and water running.

Here are a few things you can do:

Let the cold-water drip from a faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe even just a trickle helps prevent pipes from freezing. 

Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature during day and night. 

Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. 

Keep garage doors closed, especially if there are water supply lines in the garage. 

If you plan to be away during cold weather, leave the heat on in your home, set to a temperature no lower than 55° F.
