Winterizing your home tip of the day... Check those pipes!

Broken pipes lead to serious headaches and nobody has time for that.

Pipes most likely to freeze include those located in your attic, unheated floors, unheated crawl spaces, unheated garages, well house, and under porches. Wrap all exposed pipes located outside or in unheated areas. Remove garden hoses from outside faucets. Insulate outside faucets with Styrofoam covers or rags. If you have plumbing running through an unheated garage, insulate the door to keep that area as warm as possible.

When temperatures drop below freezing, open the faucets a tiny bit to allow a trickle of water to run through. This relieves pressure if any standing water in your pipes does freeze. Open cabinets under your sinks and bathroom vanity doors so that warm air from the rooms can circulate around the pipes.

Know where the cut-off valve is located and how to use it. And if you don't think you can handle this all on your own, call a professional! Busted pipes are not something you want to be thinking about when the next Hill Country Snowmageddon rolls through!

Any other tips for protecting pipes come to mind? Share below!

Winterizing your home tip of the day... Check For Drafts

One of the most important tasks to complete when winterizing the interior of your home is to check for drafts. Drafts are leakages throughout the home that allow hot indoor air to escape and cold outdoor air to get in. Not only is that annoying, but it can also increase your energy bills by sending your heating system into overdrive.

The most obvious places to check for drafts inside your home are the windows and doors. In addition to your windows and doors, be sure to check your homes plumbing vents, furnace ducts, and attic openings, where drafts can sneak their way in.

How do you fix them, you ask? The most common solution to fix a draft in your home is by installing weatherstripping. There are many different types of weatherstripping, so be sure to do a little research and ensure you're getting the most bang for your buck.

Am I missing anything? Where do YOU usually find drafts in your home?

Because I live in Texas, I do not turn off my air conditioning unit. Anyone else?

It can be 100 degrees on Christmas day. However, if your home will be vacant during the winter months, I would recommend winterizing the system. Central air conditioning is a great feature to have in a home, but also can be fairly expensive to repair in the event it's not properly winterized.

The first step to properly winterizing your central air conditioning is to make sure all debris is cleared away from the outside unit. This includes all sticks, leaves, and bushes. If your central air conditioning unit has an electric box next to it, you should ensure it is switched to the off position.

Change the HVAC filter. The easiest step in the winterization of an HVAC system is a simple filter change. Another important step as you winterize your home is to make sure your thermostat is working properly. Be sure to replace the thermostat’s batteries before testing. Contact a licensed professional if you need more help.

Have you started this process yet?

It's getting colder (finally) and you should really consider winterizing your home. Today's tip for doing just that is... Removing tree limbs and cleaning up debris around your exterior.

Cutting back tree limbs at least 18 inches can insure branches won't damage your home’s exterior. High winds can add to the damage these branches rustle up, so be sure to take care of this before any storms roll in. Remove wood piles that have been collecting against the house, too. This will prevent termites, which we can all appreciate.

Local friends, who would you recommend for tree trimming in the area? Drop their names below and let's help our neighbors get a head-start on this important home-winterizing step!
