Before we left on vacation, my husband turned off the water in the house and put antifreeze in the toilets and drains. We didn't drain all the pipes in the house.
When the house was being checked by a friend, it was discovered that the furnace wasn't working. We don't know when it stopped working, only that the house was 34 degrees and below zero temperatures had been a regular occurrence.
When we get home, what steps should we take to determine whether pipes froze/burst without causing water damage? I'm especially concerned about the pipes behind the ceramic tiled shower walls or other pipes not visible to the eye.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
