    if your able to go to a store get some heat tape that wraps around your pipes and it plugs in to keep them warm. Or you could get some pipe wrap it is like a roll of stiff styrofoam and it wraps your pipes also. hopes this helps

    I would set a thermometer down there to monitor the temp.
    If the temp falls close to freezing temps put a heater down there.Also keep a faucet running at a slight trickle.

    Let the faucets drip a little. Figure out where the water line enters the house then drip the faucet that is furthest away from that point. This way water is always moving through the line and will not freeze.
