As winter sets in, we need to remember all of the things that can come with cold weather, like frozen water pipes.  One main issue when water freezes is it expands and can cause pipes to burst.  The first thing is knowing where all of your pipes run

That’s Marshalltown Fire Chief Dave Rierson, he then gives some suggestions if you have exposed pipes.

It’s all about keeping the pipes as warm as possible so they don’t freeze

One final thing he mentions is to cover the spiget outside your house with insulation as there is probably water standing in that pipe.
