How to care for frozen pipes

As long as your home’s plumbing works, you probably have no reason to think about it. But with increasing severe winter weather events, frozen pipes can be more of a reality than ever before, especially in parts of the country that aren’t used to freezing temperatures or polar vortices.
 
That’s why homeowners should take a preventative approach and know what to do at the first signs of trouble. Frozen pipes cause bursts, and potentially catastrophic water leaks.
