Preventing Pipe Freezing and Water Damage
Don't wait until it's too late! Prevent pipe freezing and water damage by taking these simple steps: 1. Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas, such as the garage, basement, or crawlspace. 2. Disconnect and drain hoses from outdoor faucets during winter months. 3. Use a timer to keep your water heater running for at least 30 minutes when you're not home.
Ensuring Safety in Plumbing Tasks
To ensure safety while performing domestic plumbing tasks, always: 1. Wear protective gear, including gloves and safety glasses. 2. Use a ladder or step stool only if necessary. 3. Turn off the main water shut-off valve before starting work. 4. Follow local building codes and regulations.
