DFW winter weather preps in and around your home
As severe cold weather approaches Dallas, Texas, citizens are advised to finalize their preparations by 5 p.m. on Saturday. Experts recommend opening the cabinets under the sink to keep pipes warm, bringing potted plants indoors, and covering outside spigots. Safety precautions for heating include checking the flue on fireplaces, maintaining a safe distance between space heaters and flammable materials, and keeping generators away from open doors or windows. Outside pipes involved in pools and sprinkler systems should be drained to prevent bursting. Lastly, the contents of insurance policies should be examined to ensure coverage for burst pipes.
