Water Damage From Frozen Pipes

Water Damage From Frozen Pipes
Preventative Steps to Keep Pipes from Freezing
1. Heat your basement. If your basement is unheated, those exposed pipes could freeze over. Set your furnace to no lower than 55 degrees.
2. Wrap pipes. Use foam insulation or heat tape that can be controlled with a thermos.
3. Fill cracks in the basement walls with sealants.
4. Disconnect and drain your outdoor hoses.
5. Seal air leaks on and around pipes.
