Baby it's cold outside!

With the cold weather, we are getting several calls about freezing pipes. Here are some winter tips from our friends at ServPro to keep you and your home a little safer:

 •    For water pipes we encourage residents to run at least one faucet in their home or business at a thin stream - lowering the risk of broken water lines during freezing conditions. Freezing water pipes can cause pipes to burst and... customers could be left with a thoroughly soaked house when the pipes thaw.
•    Know where your water shut off valve is in your home in the event a pipe does burst.
•    Disconnect any outside water hoses from spigots, as water trapped inside can freeze and crack the hose.
•    Be extra careful when using supplemental heating units. Make sure all combustible materials, such as drapes or chairs, are at least three feet away from any heating unit.
•    To reduce the chance of fire, avoid using flammable liquids to start fireplaces and do not leave a fireplace unattended. Most importantly, check your smoke detector to make sure it is working properly.
•    If you are cold outside your pet is too. Bringing outside pets indoors during cold snaps, especially at night when temperatures dip to their lowest.
•    Check in on neighbors and family members who may be more susceptible to cold weather conditions, such as the elderly or disabled.

Keep warm Kentucky!
