Sub-zero winter temperatures can cause water inside uninsulated pipes to freeze, expand, and rupture metal or plastic fittings.
1. Apply Quality Pipe Insulation
Wrap foam insulation lagging around exposed pipes in unheated basements, crawlspaces, and attics.
2. Frost-Free Hose Bibs
Replace standard outdoor taps with frost-proof sillcocks that drain remaining water automatically upon shutoff.
