Think you already know all this, but I liked this summary.
- Keep cabinet doors open leading to exposed pipes (such as access doors for sinks), so that household air can warm them.
- If you have an attached garage, keep the doors shut. Occasionally, plumbing is routed through this unheated space, leaving it vulnerable to winter's worst.
- Keep your thermostat set above 65 degrees when leaving your house or business for several days.
Those 3 steps are all of the steps I think we need to follow. We never do the dripping faucet thing here, and it's always been fine. Here's the full article if you're still curious:
