Hey, what's that piece of metal doing at the bottom of the stairs?

Our contractor asked us to double check the inside water supply to make sure it was turned off during the very cold weather.

When Dan was checking the house and cats he saw a chunk of radiator at the bottom of the stairs.

Odd......

Oh SH*T! Not good.

Thankfully Dan was able to contact our heating contractor and quickly drained the whole system. We only lost 4 radiators and the upstairs faucet. All other plumbing seems to be ok. Cats are toasty because we moved a stand alone electric radiator into their room. 

 

 The very, very best part of this potential disaster was continued open communication between us and our contractor. No finger pointing, just facts and a plan to buy new radiators. Worth every penny and minute of planning time!
