Winter temperatures can dip close to and below freezing, especially in canyon areas and at higher elevations. Freezing temperatures can mean frozen waterlines. Not only is this inconvenient, it may also result in broken pipes and water damage to your home.

A few simple steps can help prevent pipes from freezing:

• First, locate the water line that comes into your home.

• Then, use a special tape or insulation sleeve (available at hardware stores) to wrap around the pipeline. This will help keep pipes insulated.

• If you have exposed pipes that run through non-insulated areas of your house, these sections should also be wrapped.
