At a place of business, should employees be cleaning up serious amounts of fecal matter? What if these employees are minors? What about rotting meat with odors and insects present?
I agree with Bugtussel! Either leave heating on or leave the water to run just a little! And also FAUCET not facet!
I did. I had candles lit just a few minutes ago and I went to pick up my earphones to listen to some music and the wire hit the candle wick. When I brought it towards me there was a flame and it was going up fast. jeez. Love, honey
It is not a myth. How low the temperature gets and for how long dictates the seriousness. Also, if the pipes are exposed this can be a problem. If your home is on a slab you are less likely to have problems (pipes not exposed to air an ground temps above freezing). You can wrap pipes (check with a local hardware store). The problem is not freezing, but thawing. When water freezes, it contracts. When it thaws, it expands and can burst rigid pipes/fittings. Letting the water drip can keep the water moving and hinders the freezing process. If you have any outside fixtures it can help to cover them. If you are going to be away and don't want to leave the water running, turn off the power to you hot water heater (so you don't risk burning your coils and wasting energy) and then turn the water off at the source (meter/pump). Drain the lines at their lowest point (outside faucet maybe). Open inside faucets to allow room for expansion in case any trapped water freezes. I hope this helps
i do leave it dripping, but the times that i have forgotten nothing has ever happened. sonot really sure
