How do you prevent frozen pipes?

Frozen pipe prevention requires keeping unheated spaces above 55°F, insulating exposed pipes in crawlspaces and unheated attics, sealing foundation and rim-joist air leaks, and allowing interior faucets to drip during sub-zero weather. Most pipe bursts occur in Michigan between January and February. Per ACCA Manual J and DOE guidance.
