Fire System Pipe Freeze Damage
An unusual Northwest cold snap caused the water in my home's fire suppression system to freeze, destroying much of the CPVC piping and flooding my bathroom. The flood occurred at 1:15 AM on Sunday, December 8th -- a wildly inconvenient time and nightmarish way to wake up, but luckily happening while I was home and could shut off the water. This photo depicts damage in the uninsulated void space next to the bedroom. Note the icicle.
