City of Kenton Shares Tips to Prevent Pipes from Freezing Ahead of Arctic Blast

As the arctic blast approaches, some tips to prevent pipes from freezing were posted on the City of Kenton Government Facebook page.

You should start by disconnecting hoses and turning off outdoor spigots to prevent freezing.

Make sure to close air vents in crawlspaces or basements and seal any cracks in your foundation.

Regular inspections of vacant properties are essential to ensure that heating systems are well-maintained.

Additionally, letting faucets drip at a low flow can help deter pipe freezing, and keeping cupboard doors open can improve airflow.

Residents should also consider clearing sidewalks and drives in the next couple of days while temperatures are more bearable, because it will be challenging to clear them once the frigid temperatures arrive on Sunday.
