A hard freeze is expected in Houston this week. Please prepare and protect your sprinkler system and water pipes from freezing temperatures.

To prepare please drain garden hoses and disconnect them from outside faucets to allow water to drain from the pipe so an overnight freeze doesn’t damage the faucet or the pipe.

Shut-off and drain in-ground sprinkler systems, including the backflow prevention device, then turn off the water to your sprinkler system.

Wrap or cover exposed PVC pipes and above-ground backflow preventers. Simply turning off the controller will not protect your system against freeze damage.

If you aren’t comfortable performing these steps yourself, call a licensed irrigator.

Be sure your irrigation controller is set to “OFF” and leave it there.

Insulate exposed outside pipes or faucets in unheated areas with Styrofoam covers, rags or paper.

Leave the cabinets open under your kitchen and bathroom sinks. This keeps warm air circulating around your pipes.

Locate your home’s master water shutoff valve.

Be prepared and take precautions to protect your pipes.

We can be in the same path and have a different journey.
