Freezing pipes
When temperatures stay below freezing, there is a chance your pipes could freeze. This is especially risky for pipes that are along an outside wall. Here are some ways to prevent freezing.
If pipes run through cabinets or vanities, open the doors to let warmer room temperature air flow in.
Keep water moving through the pipes by allowing a small trickle of water to run. The cost of the extra water is typically lower than the cost of repairing a broken pipe.
If your pipes do freeze, here are three things to keep in mind.
Shut off the water immediately. Don't attempt to thaw pipes without turning off the main shut-off valve.
You can melt the frozen water in the pipe by warming the air around it with a hair dryer or space heater. Be sure not to leave space heater unattended and avoid the use of kerosene heaters or open flames.
Once pipes are thawed, slowly turn the water back on and check pipes and joints for any cracks or leaks that might have been caused by freezing.
