How To Prevent Frozen Pipes In Your Portland Area Home

Be Ready When The Freeze Happens!

Pipes Can Freeze Inside The Walls Of Your Portland Home If They Do Not Have Enough Insulation!

If there are signs of water damage, mold or even moisture buildup when you open a wall up that might be evidence of a pipe-freezing and bursting in the past. The culprit most likely is the former builder improperly installed the insulation and or did not use enough insulation. The best thing to do if you find evidence of a burst pipe from freezing is to add more insulation, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Most often than not this will be more than sufficient for keeping your pipes from bursting due to freezing in Portland, Oregon but if you live somewhere that gets much colder you might need to re-route the pipes so that they can hit the warmer air of the temperature controlled portion of your home or business.
