Be Ready When The Freeze Happens!

Pipes Can Freeze Inside Walls That Do Not Have Enough Insulation

If there are signs of water damage, mold or even moisture buildup when you open a wall up that might be evidence of a pipe freezing and bursting in the past. The culprit most likely is the former builder improperly installed the insulation and or did not use enough insulation. The best thing to do if you find evidence of a burst pipe from freezing is to add more insulation, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Most often than not this will be more than sufficient for keeping your pipes from bursting due to freeze in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina but if you live somewhere that is in the Northern part of the country you might need to re route the pipes so that they can hit the warmer air of the temperature controlled portion of your home or business.
