 You can prevent pipes from freezing by:

  • Maintaining heat to assure temperatures stay above 40 degrees
  • Repairing and sealing windows or doors that could allow cold air to reach indoors
  • Sealing walls and attics to prevent airflow around pipe openings
  • Increasing insulation wherever pipes run
  • Taking special care to monitor water-based fire protection systems
  • Allowing faucets to drip to help prevent freezing if water cannot be turned off and drained
