Good morning, Memphis! The temperatures have dropped, and the freeze is here to stay for a while. Freezing weather can lead to serious issues for your home, especially when it comes to frozen pipes and water damage. At DRR Memphis, we’re here to help you stay safe and prepared during this cold snap.
Preventing Frozen Pipes
One of the most common problems during freezing weather is frozen pipes. When water freezes, it expands, which can cause pipes to crack or burst, leading to significant water damage. Here’s how you can prevent this:
Let Your Faucets Drip: A small trickle of water can keep pipes from freezing.
Open Cabinet Doors: Allow warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks, especially those along exterior walls.
Keep Your Home Warm: Maintain a consistent indoor temperature, even in areas you don’t use often.
What to Do If Pipes Freeze
If your pipes freeze, turn off the main water supply immediately to prevent flooding in case of a burst. Avoid trying to thaw pipes with an open flame—this can cause more harm than good. Call in the professionals for safe, effective help.
