Some tips on protecting your pipes from freezing
With freezing temperatures finding their way to most north Georgia counties recently, the JIC has posted a list of suggestions on how to help prevent your pipes from freezing.
As you probably know, a frozen pipe could cause a major water leak in your house. Not only would that be a huge waste of water, but could cost you thousands of dollars in repairs.
Some of the tips include:
- Leave cabinet doors open so that heat can reach those pipes more easily.
- Let warm water drip overnight from a faucet on an outside wall. Be sure to capture the water in a bucket for use in other areas.
- Disconnect garden hoses.
They’ve got a handful of other tips in there as well. Check them out.
