Weather pending, Carl's Fencing will be on site on Thursday, March 4th to install a new fence along the side of Seaview Ave separating our property from the homes. The fence was damaged during a storm last fall.
Temperatures that fall below 20 degrees - particularly when accompanied by strong winter winds, dramatically increase the possibility of frozen water pipes (resulting with bursting pipes and flooding). To prevent this financial loss and inconvenience, these guidelines should be followed:
Keep your heat on and turned up.
Pipes under the kitchen sink are particularly vulnerable. Sink cabinet doors should be opened to allow heat from the unit to enter.
All faucets should be checked before you retire for the evening and again in the morning. Faucets should be loosened slightly to allow a slight drip.
If you are away for any length of time, a neighbor or relative should be asked to check your unit, including the crawlspace.
Should a faucet freeze, you can thaw an inside faucet easily with a good hair dryer.
You might want to think about leaving a key with a neighbor, or a nearby friend in the event of an emergency.
Should a pipe burst, the following steps should be taken immediately:
Water should be shut off at the main valve, which in the majority of the units, is in the crawlspace. If the break is in a hot water pipe, the valve on top of the water heater should be closed. Contact Hearthstone Central Management.
