Charleston, Mount Pleasant & Summerville Freeze Preparation

Drip indoor faucets. Water movement deters freezing, and slightly open faucets minimize from frozen water by relieving pressure.
Close inside valves supplying outdoor spigots/hoses.
Spigots: Disconnect hoses, drain remain in water from hose, then insulate the spigot with a cover.
Insulate all pipes (hot and cold) using pipe insulation, which is available at hardware stores.
Protect refrigerator water/ice supply lines by insulating and running frequently.
Don't lower heat below 55 degrees, even at night or when away.
Don't forget backflow preventers!

Swimming pool supply lines (drain them)
Irrigation/water sprinkles lines (drain them)
Open kitchen cabinets to allow heat to reach pipes that run against exterior walls

Never use open flame
Apply heat until full water pressure is restored. Suggestions include electric heating pads or hair dyers.
