What you can do to keep your pipes from bursting

WEST POINT, Miss. (WCBI)- It’s starting to feel like winter, and with the coming cold snap, there are some things you can do to protect your home.

It’s important to take care of your pipes to keep them from bursting.

It all starts outside. Put faucet covers on all outdoor faucets.

Drip your kitchen and bathroom sinks with hot and cold water to keep water flowing.

You can also open up your cabinets to help, so they pipes stay heated.
Because if your pip busts that lead to a lot of other problems. You’re going to have a plumbers bill; you’re going to have the inconvenience. It’s just good common sense,” said Phillip Bimino.

If you have a pet that lives outside, it’s also a good idea to bring them in or turn on a heat lamp, so they have somewhere warm to stay.
