Burst and Leaking Pipe Prevention 

1. Insulate Pipes: Insulate exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas such as basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Proper insulation helps prevent pipes from freezing during cold weather, which can lead to bursts.

2. Keep Interior Temperature Consistent: Maintain a consistent interior temperature, especially during cold spells. Set your thermostat to a temperature that prevents freezing conditions in your home.

3. Seal Cracks and Gaps: Seal any cracks, gaps, or holes in your home's exterior, especially around areas where pipes enter or exit the building. Use caulk or insulation to prevent cold air from entering.

4. Disconnect Garden Hoses: Before winter, disconnect and drain garden hoses. Store them indoors to prevent water from freezing and causing damage to the hose or connected pipes.

5. Let Faucets Drip During Freezing Weather: When temperatures are expected to drop significantly, open a faucet slightly to allow a slow drip. This can relieve pressure in the pipes and reduce the risk of freezing.

6. Close Crawl Space Vents: In cold weather, consider closing crawl space vents to keep cold air out and prevent frozen pipes in these areas.

7. Add Heat Tape or Cable: Install heat tape or cable on pipes in particularly vulnerable areas to provide extra protection from freezing.

8. Properly Drain Irrigation Systems: Before winter, drain and blow out your irrigation system to remove water and prevent pipes from freezing and bursting.

9. Regularly Maintain Plumbing Fixtures: Schedule routine maintenance for plumbing fixtures and appliances, such as water heaters and boilers, to check for any leaks or signs of wear.
