How to Prevent Your Pipes from Bursting in Winter

Three forms of water which can all "hurt" your home.

How Does Ice Burst Water Pipes?

• Keep your garage door closed!
• Open cabinets under the sink and in the bathroom, so that they can be reached by the warm air in your home
• Insulate pipes
• On exceptionally cold nights below freezing leave your taps dripping slightly. This might waste a small amount of water, but the wasted water will cost you less than having to replace busted pipes

If your pipes have burst or you notice them leaking, then it’s best to go ahead and turn off the water at your main line.

Then you’ll want to call a plumber, depending on the severity, you’ll also need to call a Water Damage Restoration Company.
