To drip or not to drip?
Be sure to protect your plumbing. During sustained periods of below-freezing temperatures:
|
|
- Drip and wrap outdoor faucets
-
Note that if you use styrofoam cover like shown in photo, it is not advised to drip water
- You may also choose let an interior faucet drip continuously while temperatures remain below freezing for an extended time - and especially if you lose power and/or are not able to heat your home indoors
- If possible, keep your home heated inside to an above-freezing temperature
- Open cabinet doors below sinks to expose plumbing to the heated air inside your home
|
|
|
Remember to turn off your faucets completely when temperatures return to above-freezing. |
|
How to know if your pipes freeze and what to do |
|
How will you know if your pipes freeze?
- If you turn on your faucet and there's no water, that could be an indicator
- Sounds in a wall where there's plumbing could also mean frozen pipes
- Wet sheetrock or water where it shouldn't be could also be the result of a plumbing break
Broken or frozen pipes are no fun - but here's what to do if it happens:
-
Turn off your home's water shutoff valve outside. It's located close to your water meter box. Check out this video tutorial.
- If you can't get the valve turned off yourself, call Public Works at 512-401-5550 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. If it's after hours, call our non-emergency Dispatch line at 512-260-4600 and press 0.
