These temps this week are about to get brutal. If your washing machine is in your garage, this post is for you.
I strongly recommend unhooking both hot and cold hoses going to the washer. I also recommend going to the hardware store and getting a heat lamp. Clip that heat lamp about one foot away from your pipes. Something so small makes an enormous difference. Also, take your drain line out of the wall and get your shop vac and get as much water out of the washer as you can. Every washer always holds more water than what you'd think after running a load. The water left in your tub will freeze. With a decent amount of water left, it can cause the outer tub to crack. If you're outer tub cracks,.you get to drive to Lowes and spend some money.
If you have any questions about anything, feel free to give me a ring.
Stay warm and check on your neighbors.
