Not just here in Maryland and the east coast but all throughout the U.S., winter weather brings unique hazards for your home; and if you are like many of your neighbors, you are probably wondering just what your homeowners insurance policy would cover in the event of a cold-weather-related peril.

One such peril of winter is the threat of freezing pipes when the temperature drops.  In some cases, frozen pipes can burst.  Although you'll find that damage from frozen pipes is typically covered by homeowners insurance, taking precautions  in advance could prevent such damage in the first place. And if pipes do freeze, it is important to know how to thaw them and what steps to take to repair any damage.
