WINTER TIP
Posted on: January 9, 2020 - 2:34pm
Winterize outdoor pipes. Insulate pipes with insulation or newspapers and plastic to avoid freezing.
If you have frozen pipes, the most popular and safest pipe-thawing option is to use hot water. Wrap and secure a heavy towel or burlap bag around the pipe to concentrate and hold heat against it. Place a bucket under pipe to catch runoff water, then pour hot or boiling water over the towel. Never use a flame torch to thaw pipes.
