Sustainable Strategies to Prevent Frozen Pipes

Sustainable, long-term strategies to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, will reduce the likelihood of major damage. These strategies include year-round maintenance and winterizing. This will help your home or business property prevent water damage. You can prevent pipes from bursting by checking them on a regular basis. Pipes that are more likely to freeze and burst include those in the main sewer line, exterior walls, attic, basement, crawl space and garage pipes.

• Pipe maintenance: Check your water supply system regularly for possible leaks, cracks and regular wear and tear. Winterize and insulate water pipes to minimize the likelihood of water damage from frozen and burst pipes.
• Home maintenance: Seal or caulk air leaks and water leaks to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting. Add insulation to your attic, basement or crawl space to shield and provide consistent room temps.
