No active freeze warnings right now
The freeze season typically runs November through March, with the first hard freezes reaching the northern states in late October. This page turns into a live state-by-state risk board the moment NWS issues the season's first warnings — bookmark it before the cold does.
The frozen-pipe playbook
Before the freeze
Disconnect hoses, let at-risk faucets drip overnight, open cabinets under exterior-wall sinks, and find your main shut-off today — not at 2am with water coming through the ceiling.
If a pipe freezes
Keep the faucet open, warm the pipe gently from the faucet side (hair dryer, never a torch), and watch for the split — frozen pipes often crack silently and flood only at thaw.
If it bursts
Main shut-off first, power off to wet rooms, photos of everything — then a certified crew for extraction and measured drying before the 24–48 hour mold window closes.
The insurance angle
Sudden burst-pipe damage is typically covered, but insurers expect you to have maintained heat and to mitigate immediately — the certified crew's drying log is that proof.
