How J&R Handles Plumber in Cape Elizabeth

- Most of Cape Elizabeth is on Portland Water District water, drawn from Sebago Lake; the pipes, valves and fixtures inside the house are the part we look after.

How do I keep my pipes from freezing in cold weather?
Insulate any line that runs through an unheated basement, crawlspace, or exterior wall, keep the thermostat at 55°F or higher when away, and open cabinet doors under sinks on cold nights. If a pipe has already frozen, shut off the main and call — thawing it wrong is how pipes burst.
