How to Prevent Your Water Pipes and Meter From Freezing
Outdoor Faucets
Disconnect garden hoses from all outdoor faucets. This allows water to drain from frost free faucets.
If your home is older, the outdoor faucets may not be frost free:
Find shut-off valve in the basement or crawl space where the pipe feeding the faucet goes to the outside.
Shut it off.
Open the outside faucet to make sure the faucet drains and the valve is completely shut off.
Now the outside faucet can be left open.
Framed Buildings
Check along the foundation for places cold winter winds can blow into the basement or crawl space. Plug them up with insulation.
Check where the base plate of the building sets on the foundation. Even the slightest crack will allow cold air to enter.
If your water pipes and/or water meter is on an outside wall, be sure they are not boxed in preventing heat from reaching them.
If your pipes and/or water meter are boxed in, be sure to have doors that can be opened or panels that are louvered so the warmth from the basement can reach the fixtures.
Mobile Homes
Make sure the skirting is in place and blocks the wind from blowing under the trailer.
Water pipes under the trailer can be wrapped with heat tape.
The meter can be wrapped too, as long as the heat tape is not touching the plastic face of the meter.
