Would it burst right at the frozen section ?

Hi @Dan MarlOnce a year we have this situation in Texas, in general pipes burst after a few frozen days.The winterize process that you should do in vacant homes to prevent plumbing situation is:- Shut Down Water Line in the water meter.- Drain pipes, open all faucets (cold and hot).- Flush Toilets to remove remaining water.- Protect external faucets with an outdoor faucet cover.- Keep HVAC running at a minimum of 55F- Open vanity doors and cabinets where pipes are running.At this moment don't do anything until temperatures are over 32F for good amount of time.

If you only read national real estate headlines, you’d think the entire housing market is either collapsing, frozen solid, or waiting for a miracle.But real estate is local.

It's a smaller pool in the dead of winter... and that's not always a bad thing.For those of us who must exist in this frozen hellscape for a 1031 or whatevs,sometimes a random offering in the middle of winter can be a friggin gold nugget / escape hatch for an investor who is just trying to make a deal work.

Everything from a leaky faucet, toilet, frozen pipe, or a no-heat call. 

That leads to frozen pipe, snapped trees, roof damage, etc.

Just removing rules that made entry-level housing illegal or impractical.That matters, because affordability doesn’t improve if supply is frozen by policy.Louisville has lived with the consequences of that friction for years.

Tenants don't care nearly as much about issues as you do and will often forget to take any of these actions.If your tenants notice a pipe that is frozen, tell them to make sure they leave faucets on.

If not, then I think you resolved the bigger issue with the heat tracing and insulation. as for the frozen discharge line this year, can you confirm that the freezing occurred in the p-trap of the line?

That along with snowmobile trails, playing hockey on the frozen lakes, etc.
