This weekend’s weather forecast is calling for temperatures and wind chills to fall below zero. There are a few easy steps you can take to get ready for the cold and to avoid serious household problems.
The first thing to know is that water damage, particularly damage linked to frozen and burst pipes, accounts for a major share of homeowner’s insurance claims. During the winter months, it’s a good idea to wrap your pipes and keep the heat at a temperature of 65 degrees or higher. Also, know where the water shutoff valve is located so that it can be quickly shut off in an emergency.
