Protect Your Pipes in Winter

To prevent freezing and costly bursts, drip faucets farthest from the main shutoff and cold water lines in crawl spaces, basements, garages, attics, and exterior walls when temperatures drop below 20 degrees for several hours or during power outages. Open cabinets to let warm air in and set a slow, steady drip.
