Burst Pipes Winter
If water reaches 32°F or 0°C, it freezes and expands. This natural process happens all over the world and can cause a pipe to burst or become blocked with ice. If it is cold outside and you suddenly have no running water, call a plumber right away to prevent further damage. Here are five things a homeowner can do to prevent frozen pipes:
- Winterize your pool, hoses, ponds, and sprinkler lines before cold weather arrives.
- Insulate exposed pipes in unheated crawl spaces, attic, or garage.
- Use faucet covers to insulate outdoor faucets. Typically, they are made of Styrofoam and attach easily to faucets.
- If you know the weather will be freezing, leave faucets inside at a slow drip of cold water, as moving water will not freeze.
- Open cabinets under sinks to expose the pipes to more warmer inside air.
