Wrap your pipes with heat tapes or heat controlling cables.

Seal any air leaks to prevent cold air from travelling within these tubes. When cold air gets in, the freezing follows. These extreme temperatures of winter can turn your pipes to ‘pipesicles’ overnight. This is a common occurrence when tubes are exposed to other elements.
