12/30/2024 (Permalink)

Cold weather can cause pipes to burst, leading to significant water damage. SERVPRO® of Sun City is ready 24/7 to help you prepare for and recover from freezing pipe emergencies.

What You Can Do to Prevent Freezing Pipes

1. Insulate Exposed Pipes: Use pipe insulation or heat tape to protect pipes in unheated areas like garages, basements, or crawl spaces.
2. Keep Faucets Dripping: Allowing a small trickle of water to flow through the pipes can prevent freezing.
3. Open Cabinet Doors: Allow warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks, especially those along exterior walls.
4. Maintain a Consistent Temperature: Keep your thermostat set to the same temperature during the day and night, even if you’re not home.
5. Seal Cracks and Holes: Close gaps in exterior walls and foundations where cold air can enter.
