Brrr! It’s getting cold outside. We can feel the nip in the air.  So we cover ourselves with Jackets, gloves and earmuffs. There, all set? Not quite. What about our homes?  What about the potential danger of our water pipes freezing and bursting, causing damage? This can be prevented. Some of the precautions we can take:  Make sure you protect any exposed water pipes with heating tape or pipe insulation.  If there are pipes near a window, keep the window closed and insulate the window.   Make sure that outside faucets are coved with faucet covers and disconnect water hoses.  Leaving cabinets opened where there are pipes allows warmth to circulate around the pipes.   Also, allowing water to drip can relieve some pressure in case the pipes do freeze. Unfortunately, no matter what precautions we take, sometimes we still end up with a disaster happening. And when this happens, S.T.O.P.
