Winter in Texas can turn quickly. A few hours of prep before a hard freeze can save a family weeks of cleanup.
Simple steps before a hard freeze
Here are a few simple steps we share with our clients:
Disconnect and cover outdoor hoses and faucets.
Insulate pipes in garages, attics, and exterior walls.
Open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls so warm air can reach the pipes.
Let faucets drip during a hard freeze.
Know where your main water shut-off is before you need it.
Traveling for the holidays?
Keep the heat on, and have someone check on the house while you’re away.
Why it matters
The Texas Department of Insurance reports that Winter Storm Uri in 2021 led to more than 450,000 insurance claims, and much of that damage came from burst pipes.
Coverage for water damage depends on your policy, so a quick review before the cold arrives is worth the time.
