Ice tends to expand, pipes tend to split (Burst). This can make a huge mess. There must be a way to access the pipes, crawl space, or something else. At the very least, I’d find where the pipes feed from, drain the water out of the system and install a shutoff valve, maybe one with Sharkbite fittings. Going forward, if there are no leaks, I see two choices. 1- make an access and install heat tape/ trace to the lines, add pipe insulation and buy a insulated cap for the spicket. 2- drain the line every time cold weather approaches. Good luck. P226 9mm CT Springfield custom 1911 hardball Glock 21 Les Baer Special Tactical AR-15 | |||

Good coating of ice on the car. Only the second time in 45 years. Reminds me why I left Wisconsin. | |||
