If you have uninsulated pipes running in an uninsulated area, your pipes can easily freeze. The Building Research Council at the University of Illinois, has concluded the “temperature alert threshold” to be 20° F. Pipes exposed in an unheated and uninsulated area when the temperature drops to 20° F, are in extreme danger of freezing. If you plan to be away, do not lower your heat below 55° F. In order to stop drafts, make sure to seal cracks around windows, doors, and sill plates.
If the hose freezes, it can create an ice block, that can then burst your pipes and create damage to the walls, foundation, and flooring.

Storm damage is a tricky thing to navigate because, unlike other disastrous things that can happen to your home, disastrous things are happening to lots of homes in the area. If you are subject to storm damage in some form, be it a flood from a torrential downpour, hurricane-force winds stripping your roof bald, or a downed tree that has decided to make itself right at home on your roofline, there are some steps you’ll need to take after the storm damage to get the problem taken care of. This can mean things like boarding up windows, turning off the water supply to your home if a pipe has burst, and covering areas with tarps for more protection. Photos taken with your phone or a camera when it’s safe are great for insurance purposes, and make sure to keep your receipts for tarps, boards, hotel expenses, etc. as they often can be applied to your insurance claim.
