Repairing a burst and replacing damaged furniture, decorations or belongings can be costly.
If your pipes get too cold, they can freeze and water may stop flowing through them.
Water expands when it freezes. If it has nowhere to go, it pushes against your pipes and can cause them to crack and burst. You might not realise straight away, but when the ice melts, water will leak from the burst and could damage your home or possessions.
Knowing how to protect pipes from freezing and avoid burst pipes is fairly easy. You just need to lag your pipes by wrapping them in a cheap, foam tubing called lagging.
