Closing the main and draining the lines removes most of the risk, and it's the standard move for an unoccupied house in cold weather. Leave the heat on as well so the crawlspace doesn't drop to the outdoor temperature.

The exposed sections under the floor tell the story: dull grey threaded pipe is galvanized, copper is unmistakable, and flexible plastic is newer work. Mixed materials in one crawlspace are normal in a house that has been repaired piecemeal.

It helps the rooms above but can make things worse below, because insulation between the floor and the crawlspace keeps house heat from reaching the pipes. The pipes themselves and the air gaps around them are the parts that need attention.

Cold pipe alone isn't a failure, but it tells you where the heat is escaping. A pro will look at the rim joist, the crawlspace vents and any exterior wall the line passes through, then decide whether insulation or rerouting is the better answer.
