Freezing temperatures are coming to DFW and I would like to provide you with some helpful information about winterizing your home!

Many remember some of the hard freezes we had in the past, especially in 2021 when we had numerous power outages. Some of you had backup generators, but that didn’t help because some neighborhoods could not meet the demand for enough natural gas to supply the generators. If you lose power during a freeze and have no heat, the only option is to shut the main water system off and ensure you bleed down the entire water system. Turning the water off to the home does not prevent your pipes from freezing especially if the lines still have water in them. If you are in the same residence you were in during previous freezes, then you know the areas that are most likely to freeze. Any area that is above or adjacent to a non-heated wall such as plumbing over garages, covered patios, porches, and garage walls are likely to freeze first. Also, exterior walls with plumbing facing the North winds are likely to freeze. To help prevent frozen pipes, leave cold and hot water faucets dripping as moving water is very unlikely to freeze. If you have plumbing on an exterior wall, it is wise to open cabinet doors to allow heat from the home to heat the plumbing there. If you have any outdoor plumbing such as showers, sinks etc. you will need to turn off the water supply to them by using the specific shut off valves and ensure all water is bled out of the lines. If you have any water hoses connected to exterior hydrants, be sure to disconnect them. Any exposed water lines to the freezing temperatures should be covered with pipe insulation. If there is no pipe insulation available, you can use some old towels, wraps or clothing to protect them from freezing.
