- Drain excess water from the pipe.
- To prevent indoor pipes from freezing, cover exposed pipes with foam insulation.
- Use cable ties to tie down pipe heating cable for pipes needing extra heat to stay fluid.
- If pipes under a sink are on an outdoor-facing wall, open up the cabinet doors to let the heat from the house flow underneath the sink.
- On frigid days, leave at least one sink on a slow drip to keep water moving in the pipes.
