These freezing cold temps could result in possible frozen service lines. Let’s talk about prevention and what to do if your lines do freeze.

How to prevent frozen service lines:

• Let cold water drip from the faucet. Running water through the pipe – even at a trickle – helps prevent pipes from freezing.

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

What to do if your service lines freeze:

• Apply heat to the section of pipe using a portable space heater (kept away from flammable materials), or by wrapping pipes with towels soaked in hot water. Do not use a blowtorch, kerosene or propane heater, or other open flame device.
