House plumbing needs warm approach in winter

Body

Winter temperatures can lead to frozen pipes in the home and even bigger problems if the pipes burst, said Gina Peek, interim associate dean and Oklahoma State University Extension housing and consumer specialist.

“Freezing water creates a lot of pressure inside the pipe, which in turn can cause the pipe to burst. This can lead to serious flooding, especially if it happens when no one is home or at night when everyone is asleep,” Peek said.

Attention to plumbing now can save a lot of frozen trouble later
