Protect Your Plumbing from Winter Damage
Frozen pipes cause thousands of dollars in damage annually. Proper insulation prevents pipes from freezing, saving you from burst pipe repairs and water damage.
Pipes freeze when exposed to temperatures below 32°F (0°C) for extended periods. In Long Island homes, pipes in unheated spaces like basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are most vulnerable. Insulation maintains warmer temperatures around pipes, preventing freezing.
A burst pipe can cause $5,000-$10,000 in water damage. Prevention through insulation costs just a few hundred dollars and provides year-round protection.
Insulate crawl spaces to maintain temperatures above freezing.
Foam sleeves that wrap around exposed pipes for direct protection.
Prevent cold air from entering through basement walls.
Electric heating cables that prevent freezing when used with insulation.
Seal the critical junction between foundation and first floor.
More flexible pipes that resist freezing better than rigid pipes.
Exterior Walls
Pipes in walls facing north or exposed to wind
Unheated Basements
Especially pipes along exterior walls
Crawl Spaces
Accessible pipes near vents or openings
Attic Plumbing
Pipes in unconditioned attic spaces
Insulation Priority
Focus on pipes within 4 inches of exterior surfaces
Multiple Layers
Use foam sleeves plus wall/floor insulation
Sealing Gaps

Prevention pays for itself many times over. One frozen pipe incident can cost more than insulating your entire home's plumbing.
