- Open a faucet and permit a rather small trickle of cold water to run to help keep the water transferring your pipes and avoid a freeze.
- Keep warm air circulating around your pipes—consider opening the under-sink cabinet allowing to get more heated air to flow.
- Place a little fan near your pipes and cabinets to help keep the atmosphere moving.
- Make certain cellar doors, windows, and crawl spaces are properly sealed and weather stripped.
- Insulate your external and / or exposed pipes with necessary pipe insulation components.
- Drain out your sprinkler system prior to the winter months (disconnect and drain all outdoor hoses and water spigots).
- Seal and insulate your attic and consider replacing drafty doors and windows.
- Consider installing storm windows and protective plastic coverings for colder areas
