Frozen water pipes are a common problem when temperatures get extreme cold like they are tonight. Even though you may be unable to insulate pipes or get heat tapes before the single digit temperatures occur, There are a few simple things you can do to help prevent pipe freezing from happening. You should leave a small pencil size stream of water running in your sinks. This should be done for all faucets in your home. Leave your heat a consistent temperature both day and night. You should consider opening any kitchen and bathroom cabinets In order to keep the warmer air circulating around your inside pipes. Be sure to have any cleaners and chemicals up away from children if you do this. If you have any outside faucets, consider placing an insulated box over them. If by chance you feel you have a water pipe freeze or break, contact a plumber as soon as possible. Hopefully, these few simple steps will help prevent any water freezing at your home!
