A quick response is essential when dealing with a burst pipe caused by freezing temperatures. While professional plumbers have the expertise and equipment to handle pipe repairs effectively, there are preventative measures you can take on your own to help avoid frozen pipes:

Keep kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors open to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. Be sure to relocate any hazardous materials stored inside to a safe place out of children's reach.

Allow cold water to drip from faucets that are most vulnerable to freezing. Even a slight flow can help prevent ice from forming in the pipes.

Maintain a consistent indoor temperature by avoiding thermostat adjustments, and ensure your home remains at or above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, even when you're away.

• Ensure no water is being used inside or outside your home.
• Locate the leak indicator on the meter—often a small triangular dial or spinning silver wheel. If it’s moving, there’s likely a leak.
• Our team can identify the source of the leak and fix it before it leads to higher bills or home damage.

• On water supply lines and connections under sinks
• In washing machines, especially older models
• In the hot and cold water hoses connected to the washing machine
