Frozen Pipes Beware!

Winter is coming and weather is cold, here are some tips to help when there is a chance for your pipes to freeze:

• Insulate Pipes Whenever Possible:  One step in preventing frozen pipes is to ensure that your pipes have some kind of insulation.  You can buy pipe insulation covers from your local hardware store.  If low on funds you could even wrap blankets or newspapers around the pipes.
• Keep Your House Warm Even if you are Gone: Keep your house at a minimum of 68 F when you are away.
• Disconnect outside Hose:  Disconnect and drain unused outdoor hoses to prevent water spigots from freezing.
• Keep Cabinet Door Open:  Keep bathroom and kitchen sink cabinets open for warm air circulation.
