Even a tiny crack in a pipe can spew hundreds of gallons of water and cause serious property damage. Consider taking these preventative measures during winter months to help reduce the risk of frozen pipes.

Insulate pipes. Pipe insulation in your home's crawl spaces and attic helps, even if you live in a climate where freezing is uncommon. Exposed pipes are most susceptible to freezing. Remember, the more insulation you use, the better protected your pipes will be.
Use heat tape or heat cables. Heat tape or thermostatically controlled heat cables can be used to wrap pipes. Be sure to use products approved by an independent testing organization and only for the use intended (exterior or interior). Closely follow all manufacturer's installation and operation instructions.
Seal leaks. Locate and thoroughly seal leaks that allow cold air inside. Look for air leaks around electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes, and use caulk or insulation to keep the cold out.
