Yes, it’s that easy. When the thermometer drops below 20°F (-6°C), just let a faucet drip. Think of it as giving your pipes a slow, steady treadmill workout—they stay moving, so they don’t freeze.
A drip might sound like a waste of water, but it’s way cheaper than a plumber. Plus, the sound is oddly soothing, like a tiny rainforest in your bathroom. How cool is that?
Open That Cabinet Door
You know that cabinet under your kitchen sink? It’s like a cozy little cave for pipes. Open the doors during cold snaps to let warm room air circulate around them. It’s like giving your pipes a warm hug.
But watch out for pets or kids—nothing says “fun” like a toddler discovering your drain cleaner. Safety first, curious explorers.
