As you may or may not know, water that freezes also expands. No matter how strong the holding container is, while expanding it will eventually cause a burst and break through the container. If your pipes are frozen and the problem is not fixed in a timely fashion, they will eventually burst causing a massive leak. This can cause severe water damage to any area surrounding the pipes.

Pipes for the following are the most prone to freezing:

• Sprinklers
• Pools
• Outdoor hoses
• Other exterior areas
• Interior areas that aren't heated
• Any wall that isn't insulated

How can you tell if there are any frozen pipes in your home? A good indication is when you turn the faucet on fully yet only a trickle comes out. Sometimes, it is possible to thaw out the pipes yourself. However, there are times when it can be close to impossible, due to the pipes being inaccessible. If this is the case, you will need a plumber immediately. For prevention, a plumber can also relocate the pipes that are most prone to freezing.
