Stop Freezing Pipes In Their Tracks This Winter

Preventing is better than fixing!

Pipes will freeze in your walls if there is not proper insulation!

If there are signs of water damage, mold or even moisture buildup when you open a wall up that might be evidence that a pipe burst sometime in the past.

This most likely came from improper insulation. The best thing to do if you find evidence of a burst pipe from freezing is to add more insulation before the temperatures drop below freezing!

Here are a few more tips to prevent frozen pipes this winter:

• Insulate the sides of your water tank
• Update your pipes and tanks if needed
• Fix any dripping pipes before the cold weather comes
