Is Your Rockland County Home Ready For Winter Weather?

12/29/2020 (Permalink)

With temps getting colder, here are some tips to avoid frozen pipes:

On The Inside:

• If you will be away from home for days at a time, make sure that all of your pipes are kept warm, especially in spaces that receive little or no heat.
• If any pipes will stay exposed to freezing temperatures, open up one faucet with a very small drip to keep water moving through the pipes.

 
On The Outside:

Protect your pipes as you would protect your plants.

• Cover up your outside faucets with foam or towels to insulate them.  Especially if you plan to be away from home this winter, remember to leave your contact information with a neighbor.
• You might consider giving them a key to your home, too, and leaving your preferred plumber's contact information behind should an emergency occur.
• If your pipes burst and your home has water damage call SERVPRO of Southern Rockland County. (845) 400-4888.
