at what degree do water pipes in a unheated home begin to freeze and burst?

Answer 1

While water does freeze at 32 degrees F, it would still depend on a few factors. The diameter of the pipes, how well they're insulated, the temperature of the water inside the pipes, and whether or not any water is flowing within them. All these factors can affect how low of an external temperature the pipes can withstand before the water inside freezes.

Answer 2

Water freezes at 32°F (0°C). If the house is unheated, its temperature might still be a little warmer than outside since the basement is underground, but get below 32°F outside and you are risking the pipes freezing.

Answer 3

Water pipes freeze and burst when the temperature at the pipe is less than 32F. How long it takes to get them to this temperature depends upon many variables including exposure to drafts, outside temperature, insulation, etc. The answer can't be provided with the information given in the question. In most houses this can occur within 24 to 72 hours with an outside temperature of less than 20F and some wind.

Answer 4

0 degrees celcius
or
32 degrees farenhight
same as normal water.

Answer 5

i guess you have the freezing answer. nobody states that they don't burst until the water melts.

Answer 6

it depends on the pipes

Answer 7

32 DEGREES F
