Whether you’re escaping the cold Canadian winter for warmer climates, or heading away on a weekend ski-trip, if you’re a homeowner be sure you protect your home before you go!
If the power goes out or your furnace stops working while you’re away during the cold months, there’s a chance that the temperature of your home will drop significantly: increasing the odds of your water pipes freezing.
Water expands when it freezes which increases the likelihood of burst pipes. Once the heat is restored and water is flowing freely again, it may do so throughout your home: causing potentially severe damage.
Happy travels!
