Frozen pipes may expand, cracking the pipe or damaging fittings, leading to leaks and water damage when the system thaws.   Start before the cold peaks   The most effective protection happens early.

Use foam pipe sleeves or wrap insulation rated for cold weather, and add protection where pipes pass through walls and floors.   Next, identify “high risk” areas: any exposed plumbing, pipes near windows or exterior doors, and locations where air drafts reach.
