According to the American Red Cross, the following tips can prevent pipes from freezing over:
- The cabinet doors underneath your sinks should be left cracked open. This will allow warm air to circulate, preventing freezing from occurring.
- For the main line outside your home, turn on the water to a low trickle. Flowing water is less likely to freeze.
- Set your indoor temperature to at least 55 degrees if you plan on being gone for several days.
- Keep your garage doors closed, especially if there are water supply lines.
