WINTER AND FREEZE ALERT!

Bursting pipes occur when frozen water causes a pressure buildup between the ice blockage and the closed faucet. Pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and outside walls are particularly vulnerable to extreme cold. Now that we have entered the winter months, here are a few tips to help avoid pipe damage in the event of a freeze:

• Fit exposed pipes and outdoor water faucets with insulation sleeves or wraps to slow heat transfer
• Keep a slow drip of water flowing through faucets connected to pipes that run through an unheated or unprotected space (the water in the pipe still may freeze, but allowing a slow trickle of water will alleviate pressure in the lines and help prevent a pipe from bursting)
• Keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes
• Never try to thaw a frozen pipe with an open flame!!
