on edit: pipes unfrozen this morning!
No damage. I have those kind of pipes that don't break when frozen. Can't recall the name.

(1,819 posts)Have you thought about wrapping the exposed pipes?

(35,756 posts)I did check into that. I couldn't find the shorter cables, which is all I need. They do make them but there is no difference in the price between that and a long cable, which, of course, makes sense. The cost of production is not the cable but the heating element.
The next problem with that is getting back there to wrap it. Have to figure that out.
An option is to turn up the water heater, which everyone in my household complained was too hot for showers, etc., but it would just be for a short time. I didn't have these problems until I turned that down.
Or let the water drip, which is what I'm doing now.
More than you wanted to know, right!
Oh well, helped me think it through.
