Why Use Outdoor Faucet Covers?

Styrofoam covers for your outdoor faucets may be unsightly, but they can be very useful. When freezing temperature come and with them a long, cold winter, Styrofoam faucet covers can mean the difference between reaching spring time without a problem, and a frozen pipe flooding your home.

Your Pipes Need Protection

You don't need to be in an area with the harshest of winters.  One dip below freezing can be all it takes. A night of single digit temperatures can easily freeze your interior pipes, causing them to expand and crack. While replacing the pipe is not a huge deal in and of itself, the water damage a broken pipe can cause can be catastrophic. It's definitely worth a few minutes of your time to put on Styrofoam faucet covers.
