$5 Could Save You Thousands

What if we told you that you could potentially save thousands of dollars and protect your home for less than the price of your favorite latte?

A simple faucet cover can be purchased at your local hardware store for around $5. This humble device could prevent a major headache. It’s generally made of Styrofoam, and it’s designed to insulate and cover outdoor faucets by retaining heat during cold winter nights.

When temperatures dip below freezing, we see a lot of broken or burst pipes causing water damage within and underneath homes. The water has no way to drain completely from the plumbing under your home and if they burst, they can often go undetected. This slow spraying of water can flood your crawlspace, saturate insulation, and damage the subfloor.

Sacrificing a latte is surely worth it considering the damage that can be done to your home!
