Frozen Pipes – How To Prevent and Repair
Posted by Blake Stoate under Home Improvement Information
With temperatures dropping below zero here in the Northeast I thought it was fitting to write about Frozen Pipes. Each year thousands of homes are damaged by frozen water pipes. As ice expands inside of a water pipe it acts like an incredibly strong jack that causes most water pipes to burst resulting in damaging floods.
Preventing frozen water pipes in your home should be a top priority if you live in a cold climate. Damage resulting from a frozen water pipe can cost hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. Preventing your pipes from freezing isnt that difficult if you know where the trouble spots might be located.
