Winterize Pipes
It’s important to prepare your house for the winter, especially if you live in a cold-weather region like Wheeling where temperatures are often below freezing. Winter can be unpredictable, but you can definitely count on cold spells, so if you plan on doing any travelling or staying away from your home during the winter, it’s important to winterize your home to ensure the prevention of frozen or burst pipes.
During the winter months, water coming in to the house from outside is colder than at any other time of the year. This colder water may cause your pipes to contract and if it freezes, the pipes may burst. That’s why it’s important to check all of your pipes before the winter months and make sure your home or business is winterized.

How to Keep Pipes from Freezing
Have a couple of your faucets run very slowly to prevent the line from freezing if it gets very cold.
Make sure that warm air is getting to areas such as your basement or any crawl spaces or within cabinet doors where your faucet is located.
Use insulation products like heat tape to warm pipes during cold weather.
Make sure there are no leaks where your pipes are located. Use caulk or insulation to make sure the pipe doesn’t freeze and burst.
If you are going on vacation or will be out of town for an extended period of time, take the following steps to prevent pipes from freezing:
Find the main valve and shut the water off. Shutting off the main valve eliminates unwanted pressurized water from entering your home.
After the main valve is shut off, open all the faucets and allow the water to drain. Pressurized water is sent to your home from the main valve, so the remaining water in your pipes may freeze and/or burst in extremely cold conditions. That’s why it’s important to let the water drain after the main is shut off.
Adjust your thermostat so that it’s set to 55 degrees or above to ensure that your pipes don’t freeze.
