    What to do. Pipes keep freezing.

    Sorry I did not explain better. To the left of the hole in the wall, red, on the outside, is the faucet. Behind the red wall is the garage. The garage is cold, but not sub freezing. To the left of the outside faucet is a corner, which is roughly where the hole in the red wall is. Wind is always...

    What to do. Pipes keep freezing.

    Yeah, thanks but I already know this. But there doesn't seem to be a solution as far as figuring out where the cold is coming in. It's a house, 8 years old, vinyl siding, the basement was finished and insulated. I'm wondering if it's worth calling an insulation contractor? And, if the problem...

    What to do. Pipes keep freezing.

    Yeah it sucks. My dad is a carpenter / contractor for over 40 years, he can't figure it out. My plumber friend has 25 years of experience. He can't figure it out. This is a basement by the way. Here's the exterior. All the gaps have been sealed.

    Hot water PEX in garage froze

    I've been trying for 2 days to thaw it out. Pex comes out of the wall to a spigot. The pex goes into the wall through the basement and up through the ceiling, tied into the kitchen sink hot water. Last winter this did not happen. I think though, as it worked a few weeks ago that water in the...
