Freezing weather and snow can be a downer at the best of times, but add frozen pipes into the mix and you are in for a rough winter, especially if one bursts.
A harsh frost can very quickly, and often unexpectedly, freeze water solid in pipes. This leads to cracks or breaks appearing in the pipes, followed by water leaks either dripping or worse, cascading, down and through a house, damaging decor and furnishings, flooring, and blowing plasterwork and electrics as it goes.
