Frozen Pipes & Tips To Prevent Them
Winter in northern Virginia brings below-freezing temperatures that can be a major hazard to your plumbing system. Frozen pipes can burst, which is one of the leading causes of property damage during cold snaps.
Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to greatly reduce the chances of your pipes bursting during cold weather:
- Insulate pipes in unheated interior spaces: Pipes in basements, attics, and crawl spaces are at the greatest risk for freezing. You can prevent this by wrapping them in pipe insulation or heating tape, both of which should be available at your local hardware store.
- Leave cabinet doors open: Pipes underneath sinks can be kept warmer if you leave your cabinet doors open, which will allow heated air to circulate around them.
- Keep your home heated: If you’re going out of town or are not staying in your house during the winter, keep it heated to at least 55 degrees F.
- Run water through pipes: If you know the temperature is going to drop dramatically, open outdoor faucets to allow a tiny bit of water to drip from them. Keeping the water moving through your pipes prevents it from freezing.
- Disconnect garden hoses: Don’t leave your garden hose connected to your outdoor faucet during cold weather. Disconnect, drain, and store garden hoses to protect both them and your pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find my main water shut-off valve?
If you have your property inspection paperwork from purchasing your home, the location of the main shut-off should be listed in it. If not, look for it in your basement or near your water heater. It will typically be located on the street side of your home.
Can I thaw my frozen pipes?
Methods like a hair dryer or warm towels can slowly thaw a portion of frozen pipes. Still, if you want to thaw pipes, you need to keep them warm for a long period. Space heaters can help, as can opening the cabinets under your sinks to let air circulate better.
However, don’t let your pipes get too hot, or you could damage them.
How much do my faucets need to drip to prevent burst pipes?
Letting your faucets drip isn’t just about moving water. It’s about offering safe pressure relief points for your plumbing if your pipes do freeze. Otherwise, the water might force its way out somewhere it shouldn’t.
For this reason, even a tiny drip of water from a few faucets can help dramatically reduce the risk of burst pipes.
