Do you want to know how five dollars can potentially save you thousands and thousands of dollars this year?

This quick, five-dollar fix, could save you thousands of dollars in potential repair costs this season.

As the cold weather fast approaches, it’s recommended that you cover your outdoor hose bibs with foam bib covers to
prevent them from freezing. If you live in the lower mainland, that’s usually all you need to do.

However, if you live in a colder area of Canada, your home may also have a water shut-off valve for the exterior hoses. They are usually located in the basement. If you do have one, by all means, turn that off too, and drain the pipes.

So there you go, a quick five-dollar fix. It’s a simple foam hose bib cover that you put over your hose bibs every winter before the cold weather comes. It’s all about preparedness! That quick preventative measure can literally save you thousands of dollars; because if your pipes do freeze and burst, it could cause some serious water damage. I hope that helps!
