How this tool works
This check weighs the factors behind most freeze-ups in older harbor-city buildings: where the supply pipes run, how old the building is, how steadily each unit is heated, past frozen pipes and whether the main shutoff is known and working. It adds them into a simple tier.
It is a planning aid, not an inspection. Winter storm and cold warnings for the Boston area come from the National Weather Service Boston/Norton office, and household freeze prep is covered at Ready.gov. If a pipe does split, the frozen pipe water damage and burst pipe water damage pages explain what happens next.
