7 Tips to Keep Your Pipes From Freezing

By

Frozen water pipes can easily burst, causing thousands of dollars in damage. So BEFORE temperatures take another deep dive, follow these easy tips to prevent your pipes from freezing:

1. Seal up any cracks with caulk or foam insulation where pipes run from inside to outside the home, such as dryer vents or water pipes.
2. Wrap your pipes with foam or fiberglass sleeves to decrease the chances of freezing.
3. Add insulation if you have pipes located in unheated areas such as attics or crawl spaces.
4. During a cold snap, keep your thermostat set to the same temperature during the day AND night.
5. Let your faucets drip (just a trickle!), especially if water lines are located on exterior walls.
6. Open kitchen and cabinet doors to allow heat to get to un-insulated pipes under sinks and appliances near exterior walls.
7. Apply UL-Listed heating tape or cables to vulnerable pipes in unheated or exterior locations.

Mendham Plywood is here if you need help determining the best way to prevent frozen pipes in you home. Stop on by or call us at 973-543-776

Generator Safety Tips

By

The following suggestions are designed for the safe and dependable use of a portable generator. Before selecting a generator you must first determine your needs and wants. Example: An average refrigerator uses about 12 amps of power. You want to save your food, but to prevent thawing, you may only need to power it four hours out of the day, and then share the power with other things you need.

1. Do not over tax a generator’s capacity. This will damage both the generator and the item being powered and void any warranty. It is recommended you use only about half of the unit’s total capacity. Example: a 3500 watt generator can supply about 30 amps of power at total output. At half capacity, this would be about 15 amps, similar to one household circuit. You can power a sump pump or a refrigerator, but not both at the same time.

2. To not impede the flow of power, heavier gauge electric cords are always recommended. We suggest nothing lighter than 14 gauge, or longer than 100 feet. Do not modify these cords in any way.

3. Fuel and oil: Be sure to read the directions for your unit and use the recommended lubricating oil in the engine and the correct fuel. Failure to do so will likely destroy the unit and void any warranty.

4. Do not use indoors. Not even in your garage! All gasoline powered engines produce exhaust which contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Your generator should be run outside your home but protected from the weather. A shed or a pop-up three sided canopy are some suggestions.

5. Always shut the engine off when re-fueling. Failure to do this will most likely result in a dangerous and sometimes violent fire.

6. Storage: Many people will have a generator on hand to supply electrical power in case of an extended power outage. This means that the unit will be stored for long periods of time without use. The gasoline fuel will go bad after a few months and will render the engine inoperable. For long storage life, we recommend removing all fuel from both the tank and carburetor. Cover the unit to prevent dust build up, store in a dry place that will be both safe and accessible in case of an emergency.

7. Fuel: have a fresh supply of fuel ready in case of sudden need. It is also a good idea to have the capacity to hold a larger supply of fuel in case of an expected extended power outage. (Extra gas cans)

8. No electronics! The power from a portable generator is not “in tune” like the power from your home. It can damage the delicate circuits of such things as cell phones, computers and TVs. It is better to power these things from your car’s 12volt system or from a device called a power inverter (an inverter converts a car’s 12 volt power to 110 volt household current. The amperage provided is much lower but it has a cleaner sign wave)

9. The larger the unit, the harder it will be to move and operate. Know your limitations.

10. A power outage can be a stressful event. A single lamp in a common area of the house can have a calming effect on everyone. It is well worth the extra one amp of power.
