Keep your heater set at at least 55 degrees. And, if your pipes run outside above ground you better wrap them with insulation as well. Some of the new homes have underground pipes which should be ok.<br><b>References : </b><br> False.

The only thing you have going for you is you say the cold time will be short! if you are correct, then you could be Lucky just because the cold time will be short. the only thing can guarantee frozen is heat. so don't lesting to every body because some times they could be correct As for me! if I give you an answere to any thing you can take it to the BANK because it's correct. I do not try to fool any one because I do nor like when any try to play with my head. because I am very hard to be fool.

However, there are still a few builders around who either ignore the codes or pay the building inspector to "look the other way". If you have a plumbing fixture (sink, tub or toilet) which is close to an exterior wall, be cautious.<br><b>References : </b><br>Plumber According to building codes for newer homes, plumbing pipe is supposed to be run in such a manner as to be AWAY from exterior walls in order to prevent freezing.

Generally, houses in northern climates are built with the water pipes located on the inside of the building insulation, which protects the pipes from subfreezing weather. However, extremely cold weather and holes in the building that allow a flow of cold air to come into contact with pipes can lead to freezing and bursting. which may occur only once or twice a season. Holes in an outside wall where television, cable or telephone lines enter can provide access for cold air to reach pipes. The size of pipes and their composition (e.g., copper or PVC) have some bearing on how fast ice forms, but they are relatively minor factors in pipe bursting compared with the absence of heat, pipe insulation and exposure to a flow of subfreezing air.<br><b>References : </b><br> Newness is not as important as location of the pipes.

When the house was designed and built the plumbing was installed in such a manner as to prevent it from freezing when the heat is operational. You shouldn't have to run your water at all unless some thing was done incorrectly. Without the heat however any homes piping will eventually freeze.<br><b>References : </b><br>LIFE If your heat doesn’t fail your pipes wont freeze.
