Pipes freezing can lead to bigger problems. Don’t let this be your story… Going to on vacation? A family of 5 was on their way to their vacation. Before vacation the family prepped the house for departure -  they closed all the bedroom, bathroom and basement doors.  Temperatures plummeted to below freezing for a day and two nights. The pipes froze.  Two days later the temperature rose to above freezing and the pipes burst. Water poured through the house and the walls to the basement.  The water stayed there for more than 48 to 72 hours allowing for mold growth. *Don’t let this happen to your home.* How can you keep your pipes from freezing? [![Pipes Freezing.jpg](https://www.currenenvironmental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Pipes%20Freezing.jpg?width=561&height=223&name=Pipes%20Freezing.jpg)](https://www.currenenvironmental.com/Mold-Frequently-Asked-Questions) ***Ten Tips for keeping your pipes from freezing during the colder months:*** 1. ***Insulate your pipes***. Insulate all hot and cold water pipes located in the crawlspace as well as under your house and in in the basement, attic, and exterior walls (if accessible) with snap-on foam insulation [(https://www.lowes.com/pd/Frost-King-0-75-in-x-6-ft-Foam-Plumbing-Tubular-Pipe-Insulation/3133245).]((https:/www.lowes.com/pd/Frost-King-0-75-in-x-6-ft-Foam-Plumbing-Tubular-Pipe-Insulation/3133245).%20) Make sure foam insulation fits tightly without gaps. 2. ***Secure*** the basement doors and close and weather strip the exterior basement windows and doors. 3. ***Drip both*** your hot and your cold water faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms. This helps keep water moving through the pipes and relieves built-up water pressure in the pipes if they should freeze. Pay particular attention to the pipes running in the outside walls. 4. ***Turn off*** your sprinkler system and make sure you blow out compressed air through the irrigation lines to ensure the water is drained. 5. ***Disconnect*** and drain garden hoses. 6. ***Open up*** the cabinet doors under the sinks in the kitchen and bath if they are on exterior walls to allow heat to flow through to the interior pipes. 7. ***Wrap*** your water heater with an approved manufacturer’s blanket. 8. ***Don’t set thermostat*** lower than 55 degrees when traveling. Ask a neighbor to check on your house during below freezing temperatures. 9. ***In your laundry room*** make sure your faucet is on drip and set your washing machine on warm and start the fill cycle periodically for few minutes to run the water through the pipes. 10. ***Keep your*** garage doors closed during extreme cold weather. Remember don’t let the temperature in your house get too low.  If you have a second home and you do not turn off the water make sure the heat is turned on at a temperature of 55 or higher.  Make sure you use the tips above…since you are not at that location all of the time and if the pipes burst/thaw and you will have a water problem. If that water problems sits for more than 48 to 72 hours than your problem becomes more than a water problem.  It becomes a [**mold problem**.](https://www.currenenvironmental.com/mold-facts-) What do you do if your pipes freeze? Locate the main cut-off valve and have the water cut-off key handy before attempting to thaw out the frozen pipes.  Open the faucet the pipe runs to before actually thawing the frozen pipe to allow water to flow through the pipe and relieve any built up pressure in the pipe.  You could also use a hair dryer, heat lamp or a portable space heather to thaw out the frozen pipes to help with any pressure built up in the pipe Make sure you follow the 10 tips to keep your pipes from freezing.  Whether you are home or not you do not want your pipes to burst.
