During winter time, the danger of pipes freezing up (both at home or at your business) and bursting is very real. Taking the necessary precautions can save you a lot of money, inconvenience, and – in the case of running a business – lost revenue.
Firstly, inspect all the water piping in your attic has been well insulated with a decent quality pipe insulation. Heat is lost very quickly through metal piping.
Secondly, on any day that is particularly cold, make a point of leaving open the attic door. This will mean that some of the heat generated in your home or office will then be lost towards raising the attic temperature a few degrees, which in turn should be enough to keep the pipes from freezing up and bursting.
Thirdly, inspect all outdoor piping – these will need to be heavily insulated, since you do not have any means of directing heat to them (as in the case of the attic piping).
