With the incoming winter weather this weekend, please be prepared. In addition, with the extreme cold temperatures following the storm, we are all at risk for frozen pipes. There are two helpful links below.

What do you do if you have a frozen pipe? (source https://www.travelers.com/resources/home/maintenance/how-to-prevent-frozen-pipes?utm_source=CLM_CAT_MultiMessage-FernDeepFreezeCW-PRE-Agent_PROD_2026-01-22&utm_medium=SFMC_EMAIL&utm_campaign=CAT-DeepFreezeCW-Claim&utm_term=TRV_AGT_%20AllAgents-SC-Agent_PROD_DE&utm_content=PrimaryCTA_GetMoreInfo_BodyTop&recipientid=100716152 )

If you suspect pipes in your home have been exposed to freezing temperatures, or water is not flowing through a faucet normally, follow these steps to help reduce the potential for water damage:

Locate and close the main water shutoff valve as soon as possible and before temperatures rise above freezing.

Open all faucets, including those outside, to drain remaining water from pipes.

Have buckets, towels and fans available to contain, clean up and dry water leaks.

Slowly turn water back on and inspect for leaks. If there are leaks, be prepared to turn the water off immediately.

Also inspect pipes for damage in areas like attics and crawl spaces, where it is safe to do so.

Never use torches or heat guns to facilitate thawing, as these can create fire hazards.

As temperatures increase above freezing, watch and listen for signs of water leaks.

If there is pipe damage, call a licensed plumber for repairs.
