"Preventing Frozen Pipes: Expert Tips for Winter Weather Protection"
TL;DR Summary
Frozen pipes can lead to costly damage, but prevention is key. Pipes can freeze around 20F, and unfreezing them can take around half an hour using methods like applying heat with a hair dryer or space heater. DIY methods can save money, but having a local plumber's number on hand is wise. Additionally, recommended winter purchases include a patio heater, generator, emergency blanket, multi-tool, ice scraper, portable battery pack, lightning cable, and car battery charger.
