Disconnect Your Hoses and Turn off Spigots

With temperatures dropping below freezing, pipes can quickly freeze and burst. This is a reminder to disconnect all outside hoses and turn off spigots. If you leave your home for an extended period, set your thermostat no lower than 55 degrees. These simple steps can protect your home from damage and costly repairs.
