“Anytime the temperatures are below freezing for an extended period of time we’re running on overtime,” said journeyman plumber Brent Bates.
He said to prevent frozen pipes, which can burst when it thaws and cause a flood, it’s good to pay close attention to faucets on exterior walls that might have poor insulation.
Bates suggests keeping cabinet doors open beneath sinks on exterior walls to let in warmer air from the room, or leave a faucet dripping. He also suggests temporarily blocking crawlspace vents if pipes beneath a home are poorly insulated and turning off isolation valves to outdoor faucets that might be attached to garages.
And anyone who might have reconnected hoses to faucets when it was warmer should disconnect them again.
