Frozen Pipes Cause Water Damage in Beckley Homes?

We respond to property damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Raleigh County.

When temperatures drop below freezing, keeping your plumbing pipes in mind is important. Our local team in Beckley offers this helpful information from the Red Cross to prevent frozen pipes:

How to Prevent Frozen Pipes

• Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage

• Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate the plumbing. Be sure to move any harmful cleaners and household chemicals up out of the reach of children.

• When the weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe - even at a trickle - helps prevent pipes from freezing.

• Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature both during the day and at night. By temporarily suspending the use of lower nighttime temperatures, you may incur a higher heating bill, but you can prevent a much more costly repair job if pipes freeze and burst.

• If you will be going away during cold weather, leave the heat on in your home, and set the temperature no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit
