  1. Insulation covered the pipes, and trapped in the cold air, causing the water in the pipes to freeze and break open the steel pipes. Solution; Remove the old (water logged) insulation and replace it with new (dry) insulation, but make sure it is placed between the exterior wall and the pipes; don’t cover the pipes! Allow the pipes to be the same temperature are the inside of the (heated) stairwell

  2. No, this flood was the result of poor wall insulation placement, not the fire codes fault. Someone trapped the pipes with cold air, and thermally insulated the pipes away from the warm inside air

  3. No, yes, yes, no. And electrician, locksmith, mechanic, fire alarm & sprinkler installer, and a student of building envelope science
