Benbrook Residents Urged to Protect Outdoor Faucets Before Winter Freeze.

As cooler weather settles in, homeowners in Benbrook’s Ventana neighborhood are being reminded to prepare for winter by protecting outdoor faucets.

Most homes in the area have frost-proof hose bibs, which help prevent frozen pipes. However, leaving a hose connected can trap water inside, causing the faucet to freeze and burst behind the wall—damage that often goes unnoticed until warmer months.

Residents can pick up frost-proof hose bibs locally at Benbrook ACE Hardware or online through Amazon.

A little preparation now can save a big headache later, so make sure to disconnect those hoses and safeguard your home before the first freeze hits.
