How to Prepare
4 Steps you can take to be better prepared
Slow Stream Faucets
To mitigate the risk of frozen pipes, we advise you to allow a slow, steady stream of water from your kitchen faucet only. This constant flow can help prevent freezing within your plumbing. However, please ensure the water is running only while you are home, and do not drip the bathroom faucet.
Keep Animals Indoors
It is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of your beloved pet. In extreme weather conditions such as freezing temperatures, it is essential to take extra measures to protect your furry friend.
Test your smoke detectors
Please notify us if they are not working or if the batteries need to be replaced. This will help ensure that all safety equipment is running efficiently and will alert us of any emergency situations.
Turn on Heat
keep it at 65 degrees or warmer. Open your closet and cabinet doors to expose plumbing fixtures so that these spaces will be heated. If this is your first time using your heater this season, you may notice a faint odor as dust burns off the unused heating coils. This is normal, but if it persists or if you hear or smell anything unusual, please notify us immediately.
