Aside from wrapping the pipes that I can see with insulation and letting the pipes drip, is there anything else that I can do?

Hi Ben, I've lived in Toledo all my life...can't say it's anything unusual that makes jobs and renters, we have strong manufacturing with obvious ties to the automotive industry (Dana corp- parts supplier, Jeep- manufacturer, Owens Corning- insulation/bldg materials, Anderson's- agriculture/fertilizer, First Solar) Like any area we have some $250k and up neighborhoods with little crime and great schools...and some seedier areas where you will read about gang shootings about once a week.

I was really surprised that the pipes had busted because the house was insulated and the pipes were wrapped good but if you don't have heat and it gets as cold as it has insulation want make a difference.

In all instances you need proper insulation and good windows to make the home is energy efficient.

We have made extensive repairs (more than I planned on, honestly) including a substantial re-wire, plumbing repairs, new roof, insulating of the attic, and we plan to re-side this summer.

Bad Landlord, poorly insulated wall?"

Once the issue is fixed, you'll want to pull out all the moldy trim, sheetrock and insulation and replace it.

the sq ft is about the same as my crappily insulated house is, and i only probably dump 1200 into heat for a winter?

We are looking at purchasing multi-family homes here in the DFW area, and are interested in setting up an LLC to insulate our personal assets from any property liability.

Basement is partially insulated and has another fireplace.
