A frozen pipe is the classic $500 deductible; a burst pipe is the $10,000 renovation no homeowner budgets for. Freeze prevention is entirely maintenance-grade work that plumbers can do before the thermostat ever hits freezing.

Frequently asked questions
Damage typically begins when outdoor temperatures hold below 20 F for several hours, especially in uninsulated attic or crawlspace runs. Interior dripping usually starts around 23-26 F.
Yes - a slow drip at a cold-water faucet keeps water moving and relieves pressure if ice forms. Drip both hot and cold for plastic piping runs.
Open the faucet, apply warm (never boiling) heat with a hair dryer and call a plumber immediately if you see cracks, wet drywall or no water at all - do not run the pipe under high pressure.
