How to Prevent Frozen Pipes This Winter

Winter weather puts extra stress on your plumbing. Insulate exposed pipes, keep a slow drip on the coldest nights, and know where your main shut-off valve is before an emergency hits.

If a pipe does freeze, never use an open flame. Apply gentle heat with a hair dryer and call Aquafix if the line does not thaw quickly.
