WEATHERPROOF OUTDOOR PIPES & FAUCETS.
Many areas of the United States and Canada have freezing winter temperatures. If it starts to get cold
in the fall and winter where you live, then winterproofing your outdoor pipes and facets is critical. If
you fail to prepare, then the first freeze could mean burst pipes and an expensive plumbing bill. By
adding insulation to any exposed pipes and purchasing weatherproof faucet covers, you will be ready
for any weather that comes your way. Don't wait till winter to perform this important maintenance
task. Hardware stores will often run out of what you need as soon as the first freeze is forecasted.
