How to Prepare Your Pipes for Winter

A Little Prevention Goes a Long Way

As temperatures drop, the water in your pipes can freeze, expand, and lead to a catastrophic burst pipe. A few simple preventative steps can save you thousands in water damage repairs. Here's what our experts recommend.

1. Insulate Exposed Pipes

Pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, attics, and garages are most at risk. Use foam pipe sleeves or heat tape to protect them from the cold. It's a simple, inexpensive DIY job that makes a huge difference.
