Freezing Temperatures Tips & Reminders

​Drip, Drip, Drip– First off, protect those pipes! If you are expecting an overnight freeze, it is very important to leave one of your sinks dripping to prevent the pipes from freezing, busting, and your apartment building having a terrible leak. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PATIO/BALCONY STORAGE DOORS ARE CLOSED AND SECURED SHUT. 

​
This will aid in keeping water lines from being exposed to the frigid temperatures.


Plants are People Too– Okay, so plants aren’t really people of course, but they are affected by freezes just as we are and can in fact be killed by being stuck out in the freezing cold. So, if you have plants on your patio or balcony, you’ll want to bring them inside if possible. If you can’t bring them inside, cover them with some bed sheets, to try and help shield them from the blistering cold.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PATIO/BALCONY STORAGE DOORS ARE CLOSED AND SECURED SHUT.


Pets– Bring any and all pets inside. Just because they have fur, means nothing in the face of a wintery mix. Don't want to bring your pet to the pet park for a walk, consider purchasing Pet Diapers. We know they are no fun to change, but will keep you from having to go outside and keep them from messing on the floor.
Heaters– Make sure heaters are on to be safe and set at 68-70 degrees. With a central heating unit you should be in good shape, but to prevent your electric bill from sky rocketing, be sure to keep at a comfortable level. Try not using space heaters if possible, but if you do, always remember to use them safely! Keep away from flammable materials, pets and children!

Layers and Blankets– Break out the ugly old ski jacket or the millions of blankets. Whatever you need to do to maintain your comfort, do it! Trust me, staying warm is well worth the embarrassment of a silly old jacket, or the work of getting your old heavy blankets out of storage.

Parking Lot and Sidewalk Care– If the roads freeze over and you absolutely must drive on the iced roads, use extreme caution everywhere…especially in the parking lot, sidewalk and stairwells of your apartments. 

Please use extreme caution if icy conditions develop! If you must leave, wear grip tight shoes and watch where you are walking, as sidewalks and stairwells can be slippery with icy conditions. When in your vehicle, let your car heat up a little before you begin driving and be careful if you are sliding around in the parking lot.

STAY WARM AND SAFE!
