Our first big cold front of the season is on the way to DFW, and if you haven't thought about your outdoor faucets yet, now's the time.💧❄️
Most homeowners know about foam faucet covers, and they're a great first line of defense. But depending on your home's exterior, they don't always create a tight enough seal to fully protect your pipes.
If your faucet sits against brick or an uneven surface, there's a good chance you've got gaps, and gaps mean vulnerability when temps drop.
That's where a secondary tool like the Freeze Miser comes in. It's a small, affordable device you can pick up at Home Depot, Walmart, or your local hardware store. It works by sensing the internal water temperature at your faucet. When it drops below 37°F, it automatically begins releasing a small drip, just enough to prevent freezing, and adjusts the rate as temperatures fluctuate.
Taking both steps together goes a long way in making sure your outdoor faucets are truly protected when the cold rolls in.
