The upcoming weekend is expected to bring sub-zero temperatures and wind chills, prompting a need for preparation to avoid household issues. One significant concern during such cold weather is water damage, especially from frozen and burst pipes, which often leads to homeowner’s insurance claims.

To mitigate these risks, it is advisable to wrap pipes and maintain indoor heat at 65 degrees or higher. Additionally, homeowners should be aware of the location of their water shutoff valve for quick access in case of emergencies.

Further tips for winter preparedness are available online.
