If you do incur a frozen pipe, please consider the following tips to help prevent damage from water loss:

• Locate and close the main water shutoff valve as soon as possible and BEFORE temperatures rise above freezing
• Inspect pipes for damage including those in attics and crawl spaces when it is safe to do so
• As temps rise, watch, and listen for signs of water leaks
• If a pipe is leaking, do not turn the water on. Open all faucets including those outside to drain the remaining water from the pipes and call a licensed plumber for repairs
• If no leaks are detected, turn water back on slowly and continue to check for leaks before turning water on completely
• Never use torches or heat guns to facilitate thawing as they can create fire hazards

Have a Happy and Safe Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July from ABCO Insurance!!!
