New construction inspection this morning turned up quite a few surprises, the trash in the line unfortunately isn’t super uncommon, but the termination into dirt 20’ outside the house isn’t one we see often. The pitch of this pipe is also incredibly steep, they will likely have ongoing issues if not corrected. Listen to your Realtor folks! This inspection is going to pay for itself dozens of times over!

Whenever we post information about dripping faucets, we always get asked just how much residents should drip. A few drops? A small stream? At full flow?

The answer is that for MOST situations, dripping or streaming water about the diameter of a pencil lead or a strand of dry spaghetti should do the trick. For those who are metric system inclined, that's about 2-3 mm.

And the focus should be dripping faucets along exterior walls only, while also opening the cabinet doors underneath the sink to circulate warm air. In some instances, wrapping pipes with frost cover or insulating foam can also help.

Of course, we recognize that every situation is different and that some homes, like mobile homes or older homes with exposed pipes in crawl spaces or basements have unique needs. In those situations, dripping faucets in interior rooms may be advisable.

In those instances, we trust our residents to know the tolerances of their own homes and to understand that these circumstances may differ each time.

So we always say it’s not the freeze but the thaw that gets you. This pipe expanded quite a bit before bursting, it took about 3’ of pipe to find normal sized pipe again.

It’s equally important to drip the hot side of faucets as it is the cold side. Hot water can freeze faster than cold and is often overlooked. Open cabinet door and drip faucets to about a pencil lead width stream. You are going to run about 30 to 40 gallons a day doing this, which is significantly cheaper than a repair!
