Dealing With Frozen Pipes

There have been several instances across the country of homeowners trying to thaw thier frozen water pipes with a propane torch, only to lose thier homes when the insulation caught fire. One of these instances resulted in the death of an elderly Texas woman. Ladies and gentlemen please don't try that trick.
If the pipe on an exterior wall freezes raise the household heat a few degrees and open a cabinet door to expose the pipe to the warmer inside air. That's the safest measure you can take.
If you must, use a hair dryer to gently warm the pipe or place a lighted lamp near the frozen pipe. Don't abandon electrical items under the sink. Frozen pipes are subject to burst. Electricity and water don't mix.

Baby it's Cold Outside

And My Plumber Heating and Cooling would like to remind you that when temperatures drop into the low 20's or lower it is time to let a little water drip. Turn on a faucet as far away from the water main as possible. Open cabinet doors to expose pipes that run along an outside wall to as much warm (inside) air as possible. And stay warm; setting your thermostat below 60 degrees is asking for trouble of the frozen pipe variety.
