Just a reminder that open flames should never be used to thaw pipes and the use of electrical equipment like arc welders that aren't certified to do the job is also risky. If you don't want to hire a contractor to fix the problem, the fire department recommends using a hair dryer, small heaters, hot water bottles or towels to thaw frozen pipes in uninsulated areas. You can also avoid freezing from the get-go by insulating walls or running a trickle of water through your pipes during a deep freeze.

In light of the barn fires that have been happening across Ontario this year, I have been asked more and more about what causes them and if there are any precautions that can be taken to prevent them. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has provided a very informational Questions and Answers page answering just such questions and includes a farm safety checklist!
