I have cut off valves at every faucet. The house is underskirted which acts as insulation. Pipes are Pex and they supposedly stretch when frozen. Buried pipes are PVC. Where PVC comes into the house, it is wrapped.

We had old plumbing at our old house, galvanized pipes in the ATTIC! I carried insurance on it and one day, the pipes burst. I came home to water running out the front door, down the sidewalk and down the street. I turned off water at the meter and went inside. Ceilings caved in, floors flooded, I called DH bawling.

I am all about good plumbing and shut off valves.




Sounds like a lot of fun``` Well~ maybe not a lot```
