Where Pipes Freeze in Lincoln Park Buildings
In older Lincoln Park buildings, pipes freeze where heat doesn't reach: kitchen sinks on outside walls, enclosed back porches, unheated basements and pipes near drafty windows. In condo buildings, a vacant unit with the heat turned down can freeze and flood the units below. On the coldest nights, keep the heat steady, open cabinet doors on outside walls and let a faucet drip.
