When the cold weather hits, your pipes may be in danger of freezing. Any faucet or plumbing fixture that will not provide water may be frozen. If you act quickly you may prevent a burst pipe, an expensive repair, and a nasty clean up:
- If you think a pipe is in danger of freezing; keep trickles of water running through the faucet.
- It may be necessary during extremely cold weather to leave a vanity or cabinet door open to circulate warm air around pipes.
- Inspect exposed water pipes (especially those running along outside walls) and use foam insulation to wrap the pipes.
- Keeps doors open between heated and unheated rooms
