It might be difficult to do this, especially if it&#8217;s costly to do so, but it&#8217;s the best way to keep your pipes from bursting and keep the water damage low. Water damage to the home and your possessions can be more expensive than utility bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/09\/19041622\/snowtire_b.jpg\" alt=\"vehicle tire trail in the snow\" class=\"wp-image-3015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/09\/19041622\/snowtire_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/09\/19041622\/snowtire_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/11\/19071817\/wintertrees__b.jpg\" alt=\"Winter tree view\" class=\"wp-image-3063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/11\/19071817\/wintertrees__b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/11\/19071817\/wintertrees__b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Keep Interior Doors Open<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pipes are often located in cabinets, and when the temperatures drop, you should keep those pipes open. This helps keep the heat from affecting the pipes, letting them stay warm. You should also keep interior doors open so the heat can flow throughout the home, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Apply Heat Tape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we recommend that you apply heating tape to pipes. This works to keep heat directly applied to the pipe, keeping it warm during cold spells. It&#8217;s a good solution for short pipe sections that are at high-freezing risk and are easily accessible. You can install the tape and monitor it for problems if need be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auctiondirectusa.net\/blog\/winter-tires-vs-all-season-tires-which-do-you-need\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Winter Tires vs All-Season Tires<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just three of several tips we recommend that you apply when you&#8217;re preparing your home to tackle the winter season.
