  5. Schedule regular maintenance checks. • You don’t want the replacement of pipes to become a yearly issue, so you need to make sure that schedule regular maintenance checks and repairs from your trusted professional. • www.RupcoePlumbingSayrevilleNJ.com

  6. Get good insulation in the wall space for your home to keep your pipes from getting frozen. • You can use either blown-in, fiberglass or foam insulation. • www.RupcoePlumbingSayrevilleNJ.com

  7. Frozen pipes can cause thousands of dollars in damage and you don’t want to have to be spending money yearly when you can have new insulated pipes installed at a fraction of the cost of annual replacements. • www.RupcoePlumbingSayrevilleNJ.com

  8. Wrap your pipes with heat tapes or heat controlling cables. • Seal any air leaks to prevent cold air from travelling within these tubes. When cold air gets in, the freezing follows. These extreme temperatures of winter can turn your pipes to ‘pipesicles’ overnight. This is a common occurrence when tubes are exposed to other elements. • www.RupcoePlumbingSayrevilleNJ.com

  9. Disconnect garden hoses! Make sure to do this to avoid ice from forming and pressure building up within the water lines in your residence. Once this takes place, water lines can break. • www.RupcoePlumbingSayrevilleNJ.com

  10. Pay attention to your water pressure – The first sign of freezing pipes would be low water pressure. If you notice this, contact your local technician immediately to perform a routine check. • www.RupcoePlumbingSayrevilleNJ.com

  11. Trust the experts for any repairs and do not attempt to fix these yourself. If you notice that your faucets don’t spout any water or if you suspect that your water lines are frozen, do not attempt to thaw them yourself. Call a licensed expert in Sayreville NJ like Rupcoe Plumbing!
