The bitter cold temperatures have arrived as we transition further into 2019. The cold air and bitter winds can present unique challenges for those of us living in northern climates. One of the concerns that we often have revolves around water. Are our pipes going to freeze? Should we shut off exterior valves? These questions are especially important if you are planning a trip during the winter months.
If you are planning a vacation, take the necessary precautions to help prevent water damage to your home. Based on your specific circumstances, you can choose how to best prevent a catastrophic water event in your absence with these tips from familyhandyman.com.
