COLORADO SPRINGS â With the single-digit temps on the horizon, it s important you prepare your home so you don t experience any mishaps.
Usually, the most prominent issues have to do with plumbing, and water is the enemy. So, you want to make sure that you are avoiding any exposure related to that.
We caught up with Trent Urban, Owner of the WireNut Home Services in Colorado Springs, who explains you can be proactive in making sure your pipes don t freeze over. Plumbing issues that you really want to take care of, make sure that your hoses are disconnected, any water lines that are outside aren t exposed with water in them, because that will expand and burst, Urban explained. Your sprinklers should have already been drained by now so hopefully that was done, otherwise that could be a problem area.
