Expert tips to prevent frozen pipes this winter
On cold days, keeping your home warm without increasing energy bills involves strategic actions. Home improvement expert Adam Helfman suggests allowing a small stream of water from faucets to prevent pipe freezing and keeping cabinet doors open to let warm air reach pipes near exterior walls. Additionally, using tubing to cover uninsulated pipes and applying insulation to fill holes or cracks can prevent costly repairs. For outdoor maintenance, ensure that exterior spigots are protected from the elements to avoid damage.
