Frozen Pipe Prevention in Virginia Beach

Hampton Roads does not have long winters, but a hard freeze can still burst poorly protected pipes: outdoor hose bibbs, uninsulated crawlspaces, garage walls, and vacant houses with the heat off. Disconnect hoses. Open cabinet doors on exterior-wall sinks during a freeze warning.

Do not use an open flame. Warm the area slowly with room air if it is safe. If the pipe has already burst, shut the main and call. Full steps: what to do when a pipe bursts.
