Getting ready for frozen pipes in Avon, OH

9/23/2021 (Permalink)

When pipes freeze in Avon, OH from the extremely cold winter weather and then thaw out as temperatures rise, pipes tend to crack and burst, causing leaking and flooding. A frozen pipe bursting can cause a lot of water damage in your home.

Prevent frozen pipes from damaging your home by keeping your home’s thermostat no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.  If you will be out of the home for a lengthy period, especially during the holiday's, consider shutting off and draining your water system. Also, if you're selling your home, make sure the thermostat is set to 55 degrees + to help prevent water damage. We have responded to several calls from homeowners that are selling their homes that have walked into total home floods because pipes busted while no one was home and able to shut off the water in a timely manner.
