Even though winter has been slow in arriving, it will come.  Now is the time to take one more trip around the house to make sure there isn’t a water hose still hooked up to a hose bib  or there isn’t an outside spigot with a slow drip even though it is appears to be shut completely off  and disconnected from the hose.  Colder temperatures can fill the pipe in a “frost free” hose bib with ice, splitting the pipe inside the wall.  This type of break won’t even typically show up till next spring when a hose is hooked up and the water turned on.
