The repair cost can be significant if the plumber has to cut through the wall to repair the water line too.&nbsp; If the vacuum breaker freezes, it will no longer be able to seal the water line tight and prevent a leak.&nbsp; Actually I see the plastic cover splitting or breaking at or near the top screws.&nbsp; That is a sign of deformation and it will eventually fail and leak.<br /><br />The solutions for all of this are quite simple. The faucets and vacuum breakers need to be insulated.&nbsp; There are home made ways with an old towel and plastic wrap or you can use products that are designed for this and available at most hardware stores.<br /><br />The faucets can be protected by using an insulated cup or an insulated sock.&nbsp; The vacuum breaker can typically be protected using an insulated pouch which slides over the unit.&nbsp; Sometimes there are water lines coming out of the wall preventing the insertion of a pouch.&nbsp; In those cases, you have to be a bit creative and cover it with some thick fabric and cover everything with a plastic bag. (be aware, wet insulation is not working)<br /><br />&#8203;Happy winter</div>  <div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class="wsite-multicol-table-wrap" style="margin:0 -15px;"> 	<table class="wsite-multicol-table"> 		<tbody class="wsite-multicol-tbody"> 			<tr class="wsite-multicol-tr"> 				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.homewatcherlv.com/uploads/1/1/8/5/11858103/insulating-pouch-over-vacuum-breaker_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox' onclick='if (!lightboxLoaded) return false'> <img src="https://www.homewatcherlv.com/uploads/1/1/8/5/11858103/editor/insulating-pouch-over-vacuum-breaker.jpg?1575518119" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Insulated pouch (Home Watcher LV)</div> </div></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.homewatcherlv.com/uploads/1/1/8/5/11858103/insulating-foam-cup-over-faucet_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox' onclick='if (!lightboxLoaded) return false'> <img src="https://www.homewatcherlv.com/uploads/1/1/8/5/11858103/editor/insulating-foam-cup-over-faucet.jpg?1575518095" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Insulated faucet cup (Home Watcher LV)</div> </div></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.homewatcherlv.com/uploads/1/1/8/5/11858103/2015-05-01-6_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox' onclick='if (!lightboxLoaded) return false'> <img src="https://www.homewatcherlv.com/uploads/1/1/8/5/11858103/editor/2015-05-01-6.jpg?1575518522" alt="Picture" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%">Vacuum breaker leak and frost damage (Home Watcher LV).</div> </div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who said nothing happens in a vacant condo?]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.homewatcherlv.com/blog/who-said-nothing-happens-in-a-vacant-condo]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.homewatcherlv.com/blog/who-said-nothing-happens-in-a-vacant-condo#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2019 22:55:30 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.homewatcherlv.com/blog/who-said-nothing-happens-in-a-vacant-condo</guid><description><![CDATA[Over the years, I heard many times, "Nothing ever happened in our condo while we were gone".&nbsp; That may be the case but the reality is different.
