When you think of Las Vegas you think of blistering hot summer days, after all Las Vegas is among the 10 hottest cities. If you are new to Las Vegas then freezing pipes may be at the bottom of the list when it comes to your concerns as a homeowner but during the winter months temperatures can drop to the low 30's.

It is important to take the necessary measures to prevent pipes from freezing during the frigid temperatures. Burst pipes can result in property destruction, health hazards and even financial burden. 

We hope you find the following tips helpful in caring for your pipes during the winter months.

*Ensure your pipes are well insulated. Pay special attention to outside water piping.

*Apply heat tape to your outside water pipes. Wrapping pipes with heat tape can help slow the freezing process down.

*Keep your thermostat on when traveling out of town. Avoid setting the thermostat below 55 degrees when leaving.

*Leave a tiny trickle of water running from the faucets. While we do not recommend to waist water, a small steady stream is a proven strategy.

Making preventive pipe maintenance a priority is always best practice.
