No one in the Seattle area wants to deal with the damages
and expenses caused by burst pipes. So,
what causes these pipes to burst during the winter? The basic answer is that the water coming
into your house from the outside is colder than it was during the warmer
months. The cold water causes your pipes
to contract and in weaker parts, can cause the pipe to burst.
Here are some tips in order to prevent disaster –
1. On the coldest
days keep your faucets dripping.
2. Direct any warm
air to colder areas of your home.
3. Leave your cabinet
doors open.
4. Disconnect any
hoses from outside spigots.
5. Seal any leaks
that allow cold air in.
