With cold weather approaching, it is important that you stay vigilant and entrust professionals if you're ever unsure. It's a preemptive time to enlist Sisu for your home checkup!
Frozen pipes can burst because water expands when it freezes, which puts pressure on the pipes. This pressure can cause pipes to break, even if they're made of strong materials like metal or plastic
Reasons & risks for frozen pipes, which can lead to flooding, include:
Temperature drops: When temperatures drop quickly, pipes can freeze.
Poor insulation: If pipes aren't insulated, cold air can get in and cause them to freeze.
Thermostat settings: If the thermostat is set too low, pipes can freeze.
Location: Pipes that are exposed to the elements, like outdoor hose bibs, or in unheated areas of the home, like basements, are more likely to freeze.
Cracks: Cracks in walls or foundations can create entry points for pipes to freeze.
