Winter in Las Vegas can bring unexpected cold spells that may cause pipes to freeze and burst. To protect your pipes, start by insulating pipes that are exposed, especially in garages, attics, or crawl spaces. Disconnect outdoor hoses and let faucets drip on very cold nights to relieve pressure. Open sink cabinets to let warm indoor air reach the pipes. Seal any cracks around windows or doors to keep cold air out. If you’re leaving town, keep the heat on at 55°F or higher. These simple steps can help prevent costly damage from frozen pipes during the chilly desert nights.
