Who this is for
For renters and owners who want a clear checklist for keeping water moving when the weather turns bitter, and what to do if a pipe freezes or bursts.
Three tips from this guide
- Pipes can freeze and burst on the coldest nights, especially in unheated spaces, along outside walls and under sinks.
- Keep the heat on, generally no lower than 55°F, open cabinet doors under sinks, and let a faucet drip slowly on the coldest nights.
- Disconnect hoses, drain outdoor lines, insulate exposed pipes, and make sure everyone knows where the main water shut-off is.
