Indoor Protection:
- Keep Heat Steady: Maintain a consistent temperature of at least 55-degrees day and night.
Let Faucets Drip: On freezing nights, allow a small trickle of cold water to drip from faucets.
- Open Cabinets: Allow warm household air to circulate around pipes.
- Insulate Exposed Pipes: Use pipe sleeves, heat tape, or insulation.
Outdoor Protection:
- Disconnect Hoses: Remove and drain garden hoses.
- Cover Faucets: Use insulated faucet covers on outdoor spigots.
