Freezing temperatures and burst water piping

 I know its hard to believe but, even in Florida our water piping can freeze and even burst. Costing time, money and even the inconvenience of going without water for a period of time.


 The best way to avoid this problem is by insulating ALL exposed water piping and checking insulation before each freeze. Even after you insulate, your piping should be checked for leaks after each freeze, not doing so could cost a very high water bill or even a flood...

 Here is a picture of a 1/2 inch copper water line that burst in Dec of 2010 in the attic of a home in Spring Hill. No one was home at the time and the whole house flooded.
