10 Things You Should Avoid When The Power Goes Out

Don’t let your pipes get too cold

In power outages during the winter months, there’s a danger that your pipes could burst when water inside them expands as it freezes. While pipes in newer or recently updated homes are likely to be properly insulated, if you have an older house, check the basement, garage, and exterior plumbing for uninsulated pipes, wrap them with foam, old blankets, or towels, and keep a small stream of water running to reduce the risk of freezing.
