Be Prepared for Freezing Weather

Freezing temperatures are expected to hit the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area this week. We wanted to provide you a list of things to check and maintain during these chilling days.

• Unhook any outdoor water hoses to your faucets.

• Wrap outdoor pipes and faucets with newspaper, foam, rags, or other insulating material.

• Check hardware stores for insulation products that fit over outside water faucets.

• Open doors under your sinks to provide warm air circulation.

• Circulate the water in your home by dripping at least one sink.

• Keep the temperature in your home in a warm setting.

• If a leak is detected inside the home, shut off the water to the house immediately to prevent further damage and contact your plumber.

• Inspect your fireplace and chimney

• Stock up on supplies such as; firewood, batteries, and candles
