Just a reminder that the winter
months are quickly approaching. It is
each resident’s responsibility to make sure your home is winterized and
prepared for winter. All garden hoses should be removed from outside faucets
and the faucets should be free from dripping water. Make sure that you do not
have water or sewer leaks under your home. Once any leaks have been corrected,
properly wrap the water pipes with insulation and heat tape. The insulation and
heat tape should also cover the outside connection pipes and meters. Each
resident should also make sure that the skirting located at the bottom portion
of the home is fastened and secure. This
will help protect the pipes underneath the home from unnecessary exposure to
cold temperatures, as open skirting acts as a wind tunnel and keeps the cold
air trapped under the home. Taking these
preventative steps will not only help keep pipes from freezing, but will help
with the energy costs of heating your home.
The mobile home park is not responsible for broken or frozen
pipes so it is very important that you ensure your home is properly
prepared.
