  • If you suspect you have frozen pipes, keep an eye out for the following signs.

    • Wet spots or leaks from walls and floors
    • No water from faucets
    • Frost and ice on the outside of your piping
    • A pipe is showing signs of bulging
    • There is an unpleasant odor coming from your drains

    If you begin to notice these symptoms, especially that of flooding, act quickly. Call a professional plumber and shut your water valve off in the meantime. Turning off this valve can prevent future flooding. If you are unsure where your valve is located, most homes have theirs near the water meter.

    Turn this valve off and proceed to shut off the valve for your toilet supply as well. The valve for your toilet supply can usually be found behind your water tank. All homeowners should know the location of their valves when they move into a new home. Knowing this information can save your home from excessive damage in the future.

  • If you plan on leaving your home for more than a few days, set the temperature to no less than 55 degrees.
  • Keep the doors to your garage closed during cold weather.
