Is that green one in the bottom left your place or the one with the grey double doors?
Same here. I just went to Lowes to get pipe and fittings just in case.
Are your pipes frozen?
That sucks.
No idea how much we got, I'm out yeeting around in 4 low.
Thats where all the action is. The crackheads are in there like black bears at a garbage dump
Some
Turn the water off to the house and open your faucets if you're worried about it.
Nah, I have a hammer, pex pipe, and fittings ready to go
was gonna post this...I used to install Pex
The pipe will be fine most likely...the ball valves and fittings fail first
A ball valve at 45 degree angle won't break though, it will restrict flow but that is better than breaking/cracking.
That seems like a much easier solution...
Every hour, turn on each faucet to get the water running. Doesn't need to be for long. 20 seconds. Sinks, showers. Hot & Cold.
If you feer your exterior insulation is shit, open up the doors on sink bases.
Close valves for outdoor lines and open the spigot full. Make sure you don't have a hose attached.
Not much you can do if they ran waterlines in the attic - that is crazy to me. Can't believe that's code.

Ya that doesn't sound smart
Code may be a changing if enough people end up with saggy ceilings from this storm

People are putting full on mechanical rooms in attics now it’s fucked
Like furnaces and hot water tanks in a residential attic?

Mostly hot water tanks but aye
Anything to squeeze a couple more usable square feet into a new build.
that makes sense. put the hot water tank in the most inconvenient place where it will do the most damage when it fails ......
They've turned houses into disposable products, bruv. If you sell someone a new build that they should expect to be out of in 10 years, a hot water tank that leaks in 15 isn't a problem.
Do they not use tankless water heaters in new builds? That’s what I have and my house is almost four years old.

Not usually, no
I've heard they've improved in recent years, but the criticism of them for a long time was that they don't cut it in cold temps because they regulate pressure to insure proper temp.
