There are a few things you can do to prevent this. You need to make sure there is adequate fuel in your tank. Becoming an automatic customer will assure you of this. When you leave to go home, you may want to shut off your well pump, or the service valve off to your home if your home is in the village. If there is a freeze up of your home this will prevent any more water from entering your home that could flood your house completely. The best way to protect your home is with Secureheat.
