Prevent Frozen Pipes This Winter

Burst pipes occur when water freezes and causes a buildup blocking the pipes. Exposed piping outside, in crawlspaces, and attics are most vulnerable to freezing.


To prevent frozen pipes:

  • Repair exposed piping with insulated sleeves or wrap them to slow heat transfer.
  • Seal any cracks and holes in outside walls near water pipes with caulk.
  • Keep all cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate.
  • Maintain a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets that are connected to pipes that run through unheated space.
