HARD FREEZE HOMEOWNER CHECKLIST
1. Insulate water pipes that are exposed in the crawl space, attic, garage and exterior of your home and outbuildings. Foundation vents are probably the greatest cause of frozen or split water lines, so seal them. Cut wood or plastic foam blocks to fit vent openings, then slide them in.
2. Drain your yard sprinkler system backflow device.
Insulate your sprinkler system pipes and backflow prevention device.
3. Disconnect all outside hoses from the faucet and insulate the faucet.
4. Keep your pool or spa pumps running while temperatures are below freezing.
5. Insulate pipes in unheated areas such as the crawl space, attic, and garage. Use insulating tape or molded pipe sleeve, wrap it over the entire length of exposed pipe. Cover all exposed valves, pipe fittings, etc. with insulating tape or fiberglass. (Check your Local hardware store for supplies).
6. Let the water run if the temperature dips below freezing (A stream slightly smaller than a pencil width should be sufficient). Faucets farthest from the water meter should be the ones left running. Using cold water will save on your gas or electric bill.
7. If you do not have foam pipe insulation, you can use newspapers, towels, rags, blankets or any other similar materials to temporarily protect your pipes.
8. Know where your water meter is and how to operate it. Also it is the responsibility of the GLPGC member / property owner to keep it clear and accessible. When the ground is frozen it will be very difficult to dig up the cover to your meter box or remove other frozen debris.
9. Open cupboard and closet doors. Leaving the cupboard and closet doors open when the temperature is below freezing, allows pipes behind the cupboard and closet doors to get more heat. Set the heating thermostat to no less than 55 deg. Have someone check on your property regularly or daily if the temperature is below freezing.
10. Keep the garage door and out buildings closed if there are water supply lines located inside.
