If water pipes freeze and rupture, the amount of water that can flood into your home could cause extreme damage. A common precautionary measure during subfreezing weather is to let water trickle from faucets to prevent freezing pipes in the cold. Because the water within the pipes is moving, it is resistant to becoming frozen. This simple prevention tactic takes less than a minute but could save you from untold expense and cleanup effort.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Instructions<br \/>\n1<br \/>\nFind the pipes at risk for freezing.
