Brrrr! Winter has finally arrived and the temperatures may be dropping over the next few days. If it gets below freezing, it’s a good idea to drip your faucets to prevent your pipes from freezing.
But, if the weather is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower and you see one of these signs of a frozen pipe, call me right away:
- A faucet is not running or a toilet is not refilling
- Frost on the pipes
- Strange smells coming from a faucet or drain
If the pipe bursts, shut off the water at the main valve and cut electricity to any area where the broken pipe leaked water. Then call me.
Your plumber,
