Snow Storm Causes Pipe Damage

During the snowy winter months in the mountains frozen or burst pipes can be a real headache, and pipes that run along the exterior walls of your house may be exposed to extreme cold temperatures and left vulnerable. It is a good idea to take the necessary steps to help prevent pipes from freezing. You should insulate pipes that run along the exterior wall of your home or are located in unheated areas with insulation sleeves. Look for vulnerable pipes in the basement, attic, garage, and crawl space. Another great tip is to  keep your house heated while you are gone and as an added precaution, have someone you trust check on your house while you are away. Preventative care will be your best bet against future damage.
