Permit
The arrival of cold weather brings with it its share of major concerns. Here’s how to prevent your pipes from freezing:
Prevent freezing
Insulate pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and near exterior walls with foam covers; seal air leaks around windows, doors, and vents.
Indoor protection
Open cabinets to circulate warm air near pipes, raise the thermostat slightly, and let a pencil-thin stream of water run to prevent freezing.
Outdoor preparation
Disconnect hoses, shut off outdoor water, and drain faucets; keep garage doors closed if pipes are inside.
