Patrick Kevin FaganPatrick Kevin FaganUpdated August 18, 2026

Winter maintenance: insulate exposed pipes, drip faucets during freezing weather, check attic insulation, monitor for ice dams, service garage door, check weatherstripping, keep heat above 55F, and store de-icing supplies.

Pipe Protection

Insulate pipes in attics and crawlspaces. Open cabinet doors during freezes.

Freeze Prevention

Drip faucets when temperatures drop below freezing. Keep home heated above 55F.

Ice Dam Prevention

Ensure attic is well insulated and ventilated to prevent ice dams.

Garage Door

Lubricate moving parts. Check weatherstripping. Test auto-reverse safety feature.
