Are your pipes protected from damage by freezing? Hard freezes are something most south Louisianians don’t worry about too much, which means they often catch us off guard. Pipes can freeze at 32 degrees or below! A good idea is to make sure any exposed water pipes are insulated with pipe wrapping materials (can be found at most hardware stores). On nights where a freeze is expected detach and drain any outdoor hoses. It is recommended to run your water in sinks and tubs as well. You may want to make sure that the members of your household know the location of the master shut-off valve (usually located where the water line enters your house), just in case a pipe does burst.
