PuroClean Kicks off 2021! Holiday Food Drive totals and TIPS for preventing frozen pipes this winter.
Thank you to our offices, community, and business partners! You all contributed more than 700 pounds of canned food items and monetary donations equivalent to 2580 pounds of food this season. Donations went to the Second Harvest Food Bank & the Cleveland Food Bank.
Prevent Frozen Pipes
- Insulate water pipes in unheated areas, such as the crawl space, basement, garage, attic, and under kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
- Allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing by opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors. Move the products stored in these cabinets up, out of the reach of children and pets.
- Let cold water drip from the faucets served by exposed pipes. Running even a trickle of water through pipes helps prevent them from freezing.
- Set the thermostat to the same temperature during the day and at night. Your heating costs may rise, but you’ll prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.
- If you’re leaving home for a day or more, set the thermostat to at least 55° F. Shut off the water supply and drain pipes and appliances that use water. In addition, have someone you trust check your home once per week.
