Winter is here, and with it comes the risk of frozen pipes. But fear not - we've got your back! At SOS Plumbing & Sewer Services, we understand the stress and potential damage frozen pipes can cause in your home. That's why we've put together these essential tips to help you stay prepared.

A simple tip is to keep your home at a comfortable 65-70°F to prevent pipes from freezing. You can also let faucets slightly drip - this helps prevent freezing because moving water doesn’t freeze as easily. Don't forget to know where your water shut-off is located for emergencies.

If pipes do freeze, make sure to turn your faucet on first and then thaw the pipes. Add heat using a space heater or a hairdryer to the affected section, and soon you'll have your water flowing again. And if worst comes to worst, remember - we're just a call away to get you back on track!

Stay ahead of the icy challenges with SOS Plumbing’s reliable advice. Our expertise is built on years of experience, and we're dedicated to providing you with practical solutions to keep your home safe and sound.
