Don't Let The Pipes Freeze in KC This Winter!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Good Life Real Estate Group Kansas City

With temps now dipping below freezing in the Kansas City area, thought it prudent to share a couple of very important winter-water-service-related items:

 

1. Don't assume because a property is vacant and water service has been cancelled, that water has been turned-off--NOT the norm for the KC Water Department. IMPORTANT INFO:

KCWSD NO LONGER TURNS OFF WATER WHEN MOVE OUT IS REQUESTED

 

2. Even if heat is on, make sure your property is protected from winter water freezes! IMPORTANT INFO:

Hope this info. helps you keep old man winter out of your water pipes!

This is so important, especially with all the foreclosed homes in the area.    I have been checking all my vacant listings this week and making sure heat is elevated!

Great job on the information links John.  It takes no time at all to fill a house or basement with water from a leaking water pipe.  When I see ice formations on the lower to middle exterior of a house, it just gives me the "CHILLS".

Stay warm & dry!!
