Tip 1: Go outside



Take a few minutes to do some basic checks around the home to help prevent a small leak from becoming a disaster. Look at your roof: are there any dislodged tiles? Is all your visible pipe work leak or drip free? Also check the insulation around water pipes in exposed areas. A small gap can easily mean a frozen pipe when temperatures hit minus degrees.

 Tip 2: Check gutters



Clearing gutters and drainpipes of leaves to prevent blockages and overflows will help alleviate problems with water freezing and bursting in exterior pipes. This should be done throughout the year as a maintenance plan.
