Do you have metal or PVC pipes?


PVC. It's a fairly new addition to the house. Couple of years. I would have thought the contractor would have wrapped them. Think again.

More likely to burst than if they were metal. The good news is they are easier to repair than metal.

Locate your shut-offs. When it thaws you're gonna need them.

Edit...if they did burst. They may not have, either way locate the valves.

I believe cpvc pipes are thicker and will not split - I read that on this board a couple of years ago - not a plumber, so, don't come looking to ewhip my arse if they rupture.
