Burst Pipe & Freeze Risk in Orlando, FL

What this means for your pipes in Orlando: Orlando averages under 5 days a year at or below freezing — real freeze events are rare here, which is exactly why homes in this climate are typically built with less pipe insulation and exposed plumbing than colder cities. That's not a risk-free pass: on the rare hard-freeze night, under-insulated pipes here can be just as vulnerable as anywhere else, precisely because the building stock wasn't designed for it.
