Top Warning Signs Your Pipes Are About to Burst This Winter
Cold temps can turn a small plumbing issue into a major disaster. Keep an eye out for these red flags:
- Reduced Water Flow: A sudden drop in pressure may mean ice is forming inside your pipes.
- Frost on Pipes: Visible frost or condensation is a major sign your pipes are freezing from the inside out.
- Strange Odors: Odd smells coming from sinks or drains can indicate a blockage caused by ice.
- Unusually Cold Walls: Cold spots behind walls or under cabinets may signal a hidden frozen pipe.
- Banging or Clanking Sounds: These noises can happen when pipes expand under pressure.
