Be Prepared! How to Prevent Frozen Pipes
The last several years have shown us that East Texas winters can certainly be unpredictable! It’s smart to be prepared and help prevent damage to the property and to your belongings caused by frozen pipes.
- Disconnect and drain garden hoses.
- Cover outside faucets with insulating foam covers.
- Turn off the sprinkler system (where applicable).
- If the temperature drops below 20 degrees, keep one or two faucets running slowly at all times. Water running through the system will prevent the line from freezing.
- Keep the cabinets under the kitchen sink open so warm air can flow around the pipes.
- Cover exposed pipes (both indoors and out) with insulating foam covers.
- Always know where your water main is located in case you need to shut it off in emergencies.
- Call CPM immediately if you suspect a pipe has frozen at 903-595-0000.
