Beware of Frozen Pipes

When we experience a cold snap chances of pipes freezing increase. If you have very little water running in your house, or in certain areas of your house, your pipes may have frozen. To help prevent pipes from freezing inside your home make sure pipes in cold spaces (garages, unfinished basements) are wrapped in foam insulation. But even pipes in other areas of your home may freeze. Keep the cabinet doors under sinks open to help heat circulate. If your home is subject to frozen pipes it is a good idea to run a constant trickle of water.
