You should seriously worry about your pipes bursting during prolonged freezing winter weather when outdoor temperatures drop below freezing (32°F or 0°C) for consecutive days, especially for uninsulated pipes located in exterior walls, unheated crawlspaces, attics, or garages. Additionally, you should worry if you hear violent water hammer banging noises when turning off faucets or if you notice severe corrosion scaling on aging metal pipes. Verification: Insulate vulnerable supply lines and let faucets drip slightly during severe sub-freezing weather.
