Freezing temps don’t make it to the Athens, Georgia area very often.
when they do, it’s best to be prepared.

 5 Ways to Help Prevent Frozen / Burst Pipes

1. Set home thermostats above 58 degrees. You never want to turn off your heat completely during cold temps, even if you’re going to be away from home.

2. Drip cold water in the farthest faucet from your main valve. Moving water keeps pipes from freezing.

3. Open cupboards and vanities to warm pipes inside your home.

4. Drain all water from the outdoor faucets/spigots/hoses/lines. Then make sure the spigot is off. You can even wrap the spigots in insulation or heat tape.

5. Find shut-off valves for emergencies. AND keep your plumber’s phone number handy. 706-268-9369
