Winter · Sioux Falls
Don’t wait for the pipe to freeze
A heat tape and an open cabinet door are cheaper than a ceiling. If a line already froze, don’t thaw it with a torch.
Why it matters here
Sioux Falls winter will find the uninsulated line in the garage soffit. Prevention is a visit. A burst is a flood and a cleanup.
Do this
- 01Open cabinets on exterior walls during deep cold
- 02Let a faucet trickle on the most exposed line
- 03Heat tape only on the right pipe, installed correctly
- 04If a pipe freezes: shut the water, open the faucet, gentle heat — never a torch
- 05Book a visit if you have a known cold wall or a past freeze
Rather have the crew do it?
