There are several preventive measures you can take:
- Insulate your pipes, especially those in unheated areas like basements, garages, and crawl spaces.
- Keep your home’s thermostat set to a consistent temperature, even at night and when you’re away.
- Allow faucets to drip slightly during extremely cold spells to keep water flowing.
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes.
