 Preventing Frozen Pipes
Frozen or broken water pipes disrupt hundreds of thousands of American lives every winter. The photo above is what a Michigan family returned to after a week in Disney. They turned off the heat and forgot to turn off the water.
You can prevent frozen pipes by following these tips:
* Keep the inside temperature of your home at 65 degrees or warmer.
* Wrap heating tape and/or standard insulation around pipes wherever possible.
* Look for pipes with cracks or leaks -they freeze first.
* Keep cabinet doors open during cold spells to allow warm air to circulate around pipes (particularly in the kitchen and bathroom).
* If you're leaving your home for several days, turn off the water completely and drain the pipes, or keep water dripping through one or two faucets, as moving water prevents freezing. However, if you are leaving your home for an extended period of time, plan to turn the water off. It also helps to have someone check your home every day while you are gone.
* If your pipes do freeze, quickly shut off the water and immediately call a plumber. Never try to thaw a pipe using a blow torch or open flame.
