Preventing Frozen Pipes
Because water expands as it freezes, pipes that are exposed to very cold weather can break. Water breaks can lead to property damage and large water bills. Therefore, it is important to understand whether the water pipes in your property are subject to freezing. It is also important to know where the main water shut-off valve is so that if a water pipe were to break you can shut off the incoming water.
Here are some good internet sites to help you get more information about preventing pipes from freezing and what to do if you do experience a broken water pipe.
