The water does not have to be turned on. Once the weather warms, the ice
in the frozen pipes that cracked the pipes will melt and the water will
escape from the cracks. I know this for a fact since I had to respond to
floods in unoccupied homes after a long freeze.

anyone who desnt beieve water will freeze and break lines and traps in
a unheated home lacks common sense.

its a real issue, and tearing into cielings and walls to replace lines
is no fun, let alone water leaks when things warm up and water is
turned bacxk on.......


It seems we are hearing the most that this cannot happen from people who
have not ever replaced a pipe or p trap that has burst from freezing.

Why is that?
