Local fourth-generation experts offer advice on preventing frozen and burst pipes as extreme cold and snow approach New England.
LYNN, MA, UNITED STATES, February 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As New England prepares for extreme winter weather and dangerously cold temperatures, Waldman Plumbing & Heating, Inc. was recently featured in multiple segments on WCVB News Center 5, sharing expert advice to help homeowners prevent frozen and burst pipes.
With forecasts calling for plummeting temperatures and heavy snowfall, Waldman Plumbing & Heating provided viewers with practical, preventative steps to protect their homes before the storm hits. During the broadcasts, experts advised homeowners to maintain steady indoor temperatures, avoid turning down the heat overnight, and run thermostats two to four degrees higher during periods of extreme cold to keep water circulating through pipes and heating systems.
Additional recommendations included allowing faucets to drip slightly, opening kitchen and bathroom cabinets to let warm air reach plumbing lines, and clearing snow from exterior boiler vents—particularly for high-efficiency systems that rely on proper airflow.
