My parents had water pipes in their attic, and they were always freezing, and did damage to the pipes and caused leaks. Eventually, when everything was fixed, they wrapped all the pipes in insulation and some of them were even wrapped in electric coils AND insulation. They had to install electric coils all around the edges of their roof to melt the ice dams, too.

They used to have to crawl up to the attic and heat the pipes with a blow dryer before they put in the permanent fix.
