If the pipes are thawed before expansion occurs, this can be avoided. Of course, there are steps to prepare for these temperatures to help prevent the water pipes from freezing in the first place. One of the most important steps to take is to know where the water shut-off valve is and how to operate it the case of frozen pipes or other emergencies.! .
