Frozen water pipes are a serious risk during very cold winter weather. When water freezes in a pipe, it expands and can exert enough pressure to rupture any pipe filled with water.
A burst pipe can easily spill several hundred gallons of water per hour, and that equates to enormous damage to your home.
Pipes are most susceptible to freezing when they are located:
In an outside wall that adjoins the outdoors
In a cabinet under a sink (especially when located near an outside wall).
In an unheated crawl space or basement
Near outdoor faucets (hose bibs) used to connect garden hoses.
There are a few things you can do to prevent the most common problems of freezing pipes from occurring:
Leave the faucet dripping slightly
Open the cabinet doors to allow heat
Wrap the problem pipe
Insulate problem pipes
Heat unheated areas with a permanent heater
Remove garden hoses attached to outdoor faucets
Winterize automatic lawn sprinkler system
