Unhook your Garden Hoses before Winter.

I know it seems early to be concerned with such things, but sooner than you think there will be an overnight freeze in the Columbus area. When that occurs, an attached garden hose could become a real threat. That is something we as home and business owners in Columbus, Ohio can easily avoid!

Here is what may happen. Because there are the remains of water in your entwined hoses, during the colder temperatures, this water can freeze, causing the water that lingers in the pipes to crack. If you have a "frost-free" spigot, you may not even know there is a problem until you turn the hose back on in the spring.
