How this tool works
The check adds up the factors that drive most frozen pipe losses in Gresham: pipes in a vented crawl space or exterior walls, missing insulation, crawl space vents left open, exposure to the east wind that pours out of the Columbia River Gorge, and losing heat when an ice storm knocks out power.
It is a rough screen, not an inspection. If a pipe has already split, see frozen pipe cleanup or burst pipe cleanup, and crawl space water damage if the water went under the floor.
