Residential Pipes, Insulation, and Freezing Conditions Guide
During winter weather, burst frozen pipes can cause catastrophic losses if the damage isn’t caught quickly. Some piping materials withstand freezing conditions better than others, though multiple kinds of tubing may be found in the same home, depending on the age and water usage of the structure. Insulation can help protect pipes from cold weather, and each type has its own recommended uses.
