Essential Property Maintenance – Avoiding Frozen Pipes

Frozen Pipes

How it is avoidable by Annapolis Property Services. If you’re a tenant it may be worth speaking with us to see if your landlord would consider helping to protect your home.

The top things to do to prevent pipes freezing before the temperature drops is:

Insulate the pipes

If you can get to all the spaces your pipes run through then use insulation to prevent the temperature getting too low.

Keep the heating on, but set the thermostat to low – low enough to save you a few dollars but high enough to stop the pipes freezing

Keep your heating on

Faucets

Running water through the pipes will help prevent freezing.

But, if disaster strikes and you have a burst pipe, what should you do

Turn off your water.

Then contact a plumber or Annapolis Property Services to get the problem fixed.
