A winter storm is coming, along with significant cold weather.

Following our last round of frozen pipe webinars, these were the top 3 questions property managers asked most often - listed here, with clear, practical answers you can act on now.

1. What areas of a property are most vulnerable to frozen pipes?

Short Answer: Anywhere pipes are exposed to cold air. 

Watch Closely:

• Exterior walls
• Unheated spaces (attics, basements, crawl spaces)
• Mechanical rooms, garages, and utility closets
• Vacant or rarely used units

👉 These areas should be inspected and protected before temperatures dip.

2. Do you need a slow drip from every faucet - or just one?

Short Answer: Not every faucet - but the right ones.

Watch Closely:

• Drip faucets connected to plumbing on exterior walls
• Focus on the farthest fixture from the main water line
• In larger buildings, this may mean multiple strategic drips

👉 Dripping everything wastes water and doesn't add protection.

3. What should you do if a pipe freezes - or you suspect one has?

Short Answer: Act fast and don't force it.

Watch Closely:

• Shut off water to the affected area if possible
• Do not use open flames or space heaters on pipes
• Call a professional before thawing causes a burst

👉 Many major losses happen after the thaw.
