My Kitchen plumbing is on a outside wall. When ever cold weather was coming i would have leave the cabinet doors open to prevent freezing. Last winter in the extreme cold they froze and burst anyway!! I contacted a contractor on your ppc site and we discussed my options. He came out the same day and reworked the pipes. THANKS PPC PLUMBERS

If you turn a faucet on and there is only a trickle, it could be a frozen pipe. Pipes that freeze most
frequently are those that are exposed to severe cold, like outdoor hose bibs, swimming pool
supply lines, water sprinkler lines, and water supply pipes in unheated interior areas like
basements and crawl spaces, attics, garages, or kitchen cabinets. Also, pipes that run against
exterior walls that have little or no insulation are also subject to freezing.
