Winter is here in Northern Arizona.
Cold nights can arrive fast, and storms can move in without warning.
Here is a simple guide to help you get ready for the season.
Cold Nights Can Cause Frozen Pipes
When the temperature drops, water lines can freeze.
Frozen pipes can burst and cause a lot of water damage.
Here are a few ways to prevent this:
Open the doors under your sinks.
Let warm air reach the pipes.
Allow faucets to drip on very cold nights.
Keep the heat on when you leave home.
Check Your Home After Each Cold Night
A freeze and thaw cycle can cause small leaks.
Look under sinks.
Check your bathroom floors.
Look in your basement or crawl space.
If anything looks wet, take action right away.
Storms Can Bring Wind and Snow
Winter storms can cause roof leaks and blocked gutters.
Before the next storm, clear your gutters.
Remove branches that hang over your roof.
Make sure outside drains can move water away from your home.
Be Careful While Traveling for the Holidays
Many people leave town in December.
Cold weather can move in while you are gone.
Before you travel, keep your heat on.
Ask a neighbor to check on your home.
If you will be gone for a long time, think about turning off your main water valve.

Interesting winter home-prep piece, totally on point for homeowners and tradesfolk alike. I appreciate the practical tips on checking for leaks and securing gutters before storms. In Suplery we focus on helping beauty pros streamline their inventory and order flow, which is a different kind of readiness—keeping stock steady so you’re never short on client-ready products. One benefit I can highlight: a shared cart for real-time order building that keeps your team aligned, plus real-time stocktakes to prevent backorders during busy seasons.
