Every spring we see outdoor faucet lines that froze and cracked over the winter without the homeowner realizing it. The leak usually doesn't show up until the water to the line is turned back on, and by then it can mean water damage behind walls and ceilings.
Before you leave the hose running this season, take a quick look and make sure everything is dry inside after turning your outdoor faucets on. A 2 minute check can save you a very expensive surprise.
