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
