Letting the Water Run (preventing frozen pipes)

I use this which you can get at a plumbing supply and even at your Home depot, it may be called something else where you're at. Of course it only works for exposed pipes, doesn't help much in a slab or wall unless you want to open them up

. Other than insulating, a drippy faucet is the only way I know of, as far as prevention.

Well...my pipes froze last night. We have heat lamps in the crawlspace to keep the pipes above freezing, but the bulbs all went out last night. The good news is the landlord gets to deal with it.
