Chaveirim has notified TLS of several calls they received from residents whose pipes burst due to the cold weather over the last few days. Members responded to several such calls, ironically in newer homes, which has left the basement with severe water damage as a result of the flooding caused by the busted pipe.
Chaveirim urges residents to ensure that the basement is properly heated and that outdoor faucets be properly drained. The way to properly drain the faucets, is by shutting them off from inside the home, and then opening the outdoor faucet to release the remaining water.
Another suggestion, Chaveirim says, is to purchase an ‘insulation cap’ for the faucets.
so there is no indoor ice rink in town.
Can u tell us wat chaverim is supposed to be called for or can all ppl just call them for watever we want

Look at their motto “Friends you can count on”
Big thank you to those dedicated vol. that came to my flooding house at 4:30AM the other night in the freezing cold!! may god bless you and your family’s
Doesn’t chaveirim mean people who volunteer and help out… I think it’s hebrew
I am a new homeowner and I’m not sure where to find the knob to shut the water for the outside faucets, any tips before I go down and look?
(1) Check in your boiler room (2) under sink or cabinet of the wall that’s leading to outside
The other day my car got stuck chaveirim came but when he tried to tow me out his tow broke off the truck, my vehicle went deeper into the mud, he had to call for back up, when they came they towed me out. They then stopped and got me milk so #3 yes they will
will chaveirim help out a non-jew person?
yes, they help out anyone in need.
how many calls do they get each day
I find it amazing that we are able to count on you guys, “Chaveirim” WHENEVER we need help. I have no affiliation with them but think its great that they are getting so much publicity recently. They really need funds to help them continue their beautiful work (communication infrastructure and equipment).
