🚨❄️ Winter Alert: Freeze Tips from Obsta Plumbing! ❄️🚨
Hey Houston residents! As freezing temps approach, Obsta Plumbing wants you to be ready. Here are some quick tips to keep your plumbing intact:
1️⃣ Protect Your Backflow Preventer: Wrap it in insulation or towels, then cover with a trash bag to prevent freezing rain.
2️⃣ Drip or Drain? Drip warm water in pipes to prevent freezing. No need to drain unless you're up North or vacating.
3️⃣ Indoor Pipe Care: Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air flow. But be cautious with kids and pets around open cabinets.
4️⃣ Vacant Homes: Keep inside temperature at least 65°F. Open cabinets under sinks and along exterior walls for airflow.
5️⃣ Sprinkler System: Turn it off and open the valves to allow for water expansion when it freezes.
6️⃣ If Pipes Freeze: Patience is key. Thaw naturally, use a hair dryer for quicker results. Have bottled water on hand.
7️⃣ Emergency Preparedness: Know how to turn off water to your home, at the meter, and at fixtures. Check and maintain water shut-off valves. Get a Water Key for the meter.
