These methods might seem expensive but are relatively cheaper than costly repair bills that come from water damages once a pipe bursts. Here are a few things you could to do prevent freezing:
- Keep kitchen & bathroom cabinet doors open - to allow warm air to circulate the space
- Seal entire house - keep all the doors and windows closed to allow no chance of cold air entering the house
