With Winter's deep freeze, residents deal with winter related issues with their pipes. Pipes can be frozen in a home if a draft of cold air gets in, such as a crawl space or unheated room. It costs homeowners a couple of thousands of dollars to fix frozen pipes, depending on the damage and how long it take to repair.

Homeowners can avoid these problems by running cold water about the width of a pencil in a faucet and by keeping drafts away.

Homeowners are responsible for costs in running their water. That is a small cost of water wasted. It is about planning for cold weather.
