Скачать или смотреть Why 20 Degrees is the "Danger Zone" for Arkansas Pipes

Everyone knows water freezes at 32°F, so why do plumbers panic at 20°F? In this brief video, we explain the "20-Degree Rule" for Arkansas homes. While water freezes at 32°F, most home insulation can protect your pipes until the temperature drops to 20°F. Once you hit this "Danger Zone," heat loss through your walls outpaces the warmth of your home, and you must move from general prep to "Active Prevention".
In this video, you will learn: ❄️ The Physics of 20°F: Why standard insulation fails to keep wall cavities above freezing at this specific temperature. 🏠 Crawlspace Dangers: How stagnant air under the house puts main lines at immediate risk. ✅ The 3-Step Survival Plan:
1. Open the Cabinets: Let 70°F living room air circulate around hidden pipes.
2. The "Safety Drip": Why you should drip the faucet furthest from the main to keep water moving.
3. Hold the Heat: Why you should keep your thermostat at 68°F or higher all night. 💥 Myth Buster: It's not the ice that bursts the pipe—it's the pressure buildup between the ice "plug" and the closed faucet.
