I have two outside spigots on my house. With the extreme cold temperatures, it is currently -6, is it a good idea to let the spigots drip to prevent them from freezing?
You always hear people talk about leaving faucets drip when it is really cold. I have never left the outside spigots drip it in the past but it hasn't been this cold around here in quite a while.
My only concern with leaving them drip would be the buildup of an ice dam and also letting water run down my foundation.
