The Utah snow is here and right in its shadow: below freezing temperatures which cause water to freeze and the threat of frozen pipes! Frozen pipes can burst and cause all sorts of damage to your home and can be costly to repair. Take a look at these helpful tips if you want to keep your pipes from freezing this winter.

Frozen Pipe Prevention Tips

• Insulate pipes in unheated areas such as basements, crawl spaces and outside walls.

• Keep doors slightly open between your heated and unheated rooms to allow the temperature to flow more evenly.

• Drain outside faucets by cutting off the water inside and then opening the faucet handle to allow remaining water to drain out.

• Seal up all wall and window cracks and also dryer vents to keep cold air from entering your home.

• If not going to be home during the day still leave the heat thermostat at a reasonable temperature.

• Leave faucets open and let them drip slightly to prevent freezing.
