Southern Ontario winters can cause pipes to freeze, leading to costly damage. To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like basements and attics. Seal gaps around windows and doors to keep cold air out, and maintain a consistent indoor temperature of at least 12°C (55°F). Shut off outdoor faucets and disconnect hoses before the first frost. Use heat tape or space heaters in vulnerable areas. If pipes freeze, thaw them carefully or call us at Loc-Roc Plumbing to avoid costly damage.
