How to Prevent Frozen Pipes During Ohio Winters

Written By Scott Giles

Winter in Ohio can be harsh on plumbing. Frozen pipes can burst, causing major water damage. Read below to learn simple steps you can take to help keep your plumbing in great shape throughout the cold weather season.

  • Insulate Exposed Pipes: Basements, attics, and crawl spaces.

  • Seal Gaps and Cracks: Prevent cold air from reaching pipes.

  • Let Faucets Drip: Keeps water moving, which reduces the chance of it freezing.

  • Keep Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinets Open: Although it sounds unnecessary, this allows warmer room air to come into contact with the pipes under your sinks.
