It is important to protect water pipes so they don't freeze because when water freezes, it swells. If water is trapped inside the pipes the pressure from it swelling will cause the pipes to burst.
To keep them from bursting when the water freezes
Because if they freeze they may burst, then you will have a mess and no water.
Water expands when it freezes. If water pipes are allowed to freeze then the pressure of the expanding ice inside them will fracture the pipes. Then when the temperature rises so that the ice melts, the pipes will leak - with resulting damage.
if the water in the pipes freezes, it will expand and break the pipes.
Do your pipes freeze .
some times when temperatures go really cold in winters it causes water to freeze and as the water in pipes starts to freeze, the expansion that takes place when water freezes causes pipes to break
if the water in the pipes freezes, it will expand and break the pipes.

Why is the second paragraph a contradiction of the first? If hot water pipes 'Absolutely' do not freeze faster than cold water pipes then why the comment about the cold water pipes having a larger diameter which causes them to freeze at a slower rate than the smaller hot water pipes? Also, the word then in the last line should be thanand there should be an a between usually and larger. And, piping should be changed to pipe.
Nope
28 degrees above zero (Fahrenheit) for more than 4 hours will freeze your pipes, so insulate, insulate, insulate.
The water in your pipes will freeze, and then burst!
