Subzero weather freezes streams, insulate, heat tape your pipes, open your cabinet doors so you can heat them. Running water through the pipes might work mid 20s. Teens and subzero won’t do jack. Insulate the stud cavities.
Thanks for the info. It’s already -1, your suggestions ain’t happening tonight!
I remember back when we had an ice storm and had no heat in the house except for the fireplace, I used to shut off the main water tap and drain the pipes every night before we went to bed.
By drain, I mean I disconnected the hoses to the washing machine in the basement and turned on the taps. Pipes banged the next morning, but nothing ever froze.
Would that work?
