In the heart of winter, temperatures often go well below freezing and it is important to take proactive steps to help keep plumbing and pipes from freezing. Pipes bursting from expanding can be very expensive as they can flood your home and cause water damage in addition to the cost of plumbing repairs. There are steps that can be taking to lessen the risks of pipes freezing in your home.

Running Water is Harder to Freeze

It is harder to freeze water that is moving than stagnant water. Lakes and ponds will freeze solid faster than rivers, and water moving through your water pipes will be harder to freeze than water sitting stationary in your plumbing. Allowing the water faucets to drip throughout the house will lessen the chance of the water freezing solid.
