Protecting Your Pipes During Anchorage Cold Snaps

Plumbing in crawl spaces, exterior walls, garages, and unheated utility areas is the most vulnerable during extended cold. Identify those runs before temperatures drop.

Keeping interior doors open to circulate heat, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, and disconnecting exterior hoses are all low-effort steps with real benefit.

Locate your main water shutoff now and make sure everyone in the household knows where it is.

Shut off the water supply, avoid open flame, and contact a plumber to evaluate the line. A frozen pipe that has not yet burst still needs attention.
