Be Prepared For FREEZING Weather!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with THE TEMPLE TEAM

HELPFUL TIPS FOR YOUR HOME DURING FREEZING WEATHER!

 

• Keep your home heated to a minimum of 65 degrees to keep the inside walls from freezing. 

• Know where your main water shutoff is located within your home in case a pipe would burst due to freezing.  

• Turn on Hot AND Cold faucets to a "slow drip" AND open cabinet doors below sink if there are any ... this will help to prevent freezing pipes. 

• Make sure all hoses are disconnected from outside spigots. 

• If you should happen to discover that pipes ARE frozen ... don't wait for them to burst. Take measures to safely thaw them immediately, or call a plumber for assistance.

• After all precautions ... if your pipes should still burst from freezing, first thing to do is turn off the main water line.  Then mop up water as quickly as possible to prevent any further damage.

Great post!  As a Realtor and a Home Inspector, I love seeing when other Realtors provide education to their clients.  All too often, home owners don't know things that we as Realtors may think are simple and so educating them can really help them prevent potential costly disasters.  If you are looking for more info to provide to your buyers and sellers,

Thanks and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
