With below-freezing temperatures in the forecast, a few simple steps can keep you and your family safe and your home's pipes from freezing. Please review the below tips to help minimize the possibility or damage.
​​

• Prepare your pipes in advance. Remove, drain and store garden hoses used outside. If at all possible, use an inside valve to shut off and drain water from pipes leading to outside faucets. This will reduce the chance of freezing pipes just inside your house. ​
• Properly winterize automatic landscaping sprinkler systems. 
• Check and monitor any exposed pipes in unheated areas such as basements, garages, attics and crawlspaces.
• Locate the main water shut off for your home so that if a pipe bursts, you can shut off the water and minimize damage.
• Open cabinet doors in the kitchen and bathrooms to let heat in and around the plumbing.  Especially important if some of these pipes run up against outside walls. If you open cabinet doors, be sure to remove anything that may pose a safety hazard to children, such as household cleaners.
• Keep garage doors closed if there are water pipes or supply lines in the garage.  If attached to home and its safe, consider opening the door to the garage to allow some heat from the home to enter the garage. While your heating bill may take a hit, the cost will not compare to the costly price of repairs from water damage.
• DO NOT use kerosene or other fuel fed heating devices in your garage to heat it.
• Let water drip from faucets served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe (even a few drops a minute) can help prevent pipes from freezing.
• DO NOT use a torch,  or any other open flame to try and thaw out potentially frozen pipes!
• Keep the thermostat set to no lower than 55° F during the evening hours or if you will be leaving the home for an extended period of time (day or night).
• Lastly please check on your elderly neighbors and friends who may need additional assistance to ensure their safety and always have working Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Alarms in your home.

  

​ A lack of maintenance, buildup of lint, placing inappropriate items in the dryer and inadequate venting are frequently cited as contributing factors. Please take a moment to review some very important tips below.

Did You Know?

• The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that 15,500 clothes dryer fires occur annually, causing an average of 10 deaths, 310 injuries and more than $84.4 million in property damage.
• Eighty-percent of American homes have clothes dryers.
• A full load of wet clothes placed in a dryer contains about one half gallon of water. As the clothes dry, lint forms and builds up, reducing the airflow in the dryer's vent, and potentially causing the dryer to work improperly or overheat.

Clothes Dryer DOs:

• DO clean the lint screen/filter before or after drying EACH load of clothes.
• DO clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically.
• DO have a certified service technician clean and inspect the dryer and venting system regularly.
• DO replace plastic or vinyl exhaust hoses with rigid or flexible metal venting, which provides maximum airflow.
• DO keep the area around the dryer clean and free from clutter.
• Always use the appropriate electrical outlet for dryers and all major appliances.

Clothes Dryer DON'Ts:

• DON'T place clothing or fabric stained with a flammable substance, such as alcohol, cooking oils, gasoline, spot removers or motor oil, in the dryer. Flammable substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Instead, dry the materials outdoors.
• DON'T leave a dryer running if you are not home.
• DON'T forget to read the manufacturer warnings in the user manual and on the inside of the dryer door
• DON'T dry any item containing foam, rubber or plastic, such as bathroom and non-slip rugs and athletic shoes.
• DON'T dry any item that contains glass fiber materials, such as a blouse or sweater with glass buttons or decorations.
• DON'T overload the dryer with wet clothes.
