Tips to Keep Pipes From Freezing ❄️🥶 💦

1. Keep a Consistent Temperature

2. Insulate Pipes

If water pipes run against an exterior wall in your home, ensure they are properly insulated. Freezing temperatures in unfinished basements and crawl spaces can put your pipes at risk, so focus on these areas specifically.

3. Open Cabinet Doors

Kitchen and bathroom sinks tend to be against an exterior wall in many homes. These areas are not insulated well, and cold air from outside can freeze the pipes beneath the sinks. To help combat the intrusion of cold air, leave the cabinet doors open to ease the movement of warmer air.

4. Turn on Faucets

You can also run water to avoid frozen pipes when the temperature is freezing or below. Allowing your faucets to drip will relieve pressure inside the pipes, helping prevent freezing.

*While the steps mentioned above are good places to start, frozen pipes and leaks are always possible in severe temperatures.
