This is the laziest, most effective trick in the book. When the temperature drops like a bad stock market, just let a faucet drip a tiny stream of water. Not a full-on shower, just a sad little leak.
I know, it feels like you’re wasting water, and your inner eco-warrior might wince. But trust me, a cup of water per hour is way cheaper than a plumber’s invoice. Moving water doesn’t freeze as easily, so you’re basically giving your pipes a little jog to keep their blood—uh, water—flowing.
