Even in areas like Roswell, GA, winter temperatures can occasionally dip low enough to cause serious plumbing problems. One of the most common and costly cold-weather issues homeowners face is frozen pipes. When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands, increasing pressure and often leading to cracks or burst pipes. At Pro Plumber Redondo Beach, we help homeowners stay prepared and avoid winter plumbing emergencies with proactive prevention strategies.
The first step to preventing frozen pipes is proper insulation. Pipes located in unheated areas such as crawl spaces, garages, attics, and exterior walls are especially vulnerable. Adding pipe insulation or foam sleeves creates a protective barrier that helps retain warmth during cold nights. Sealing gaps and cracks around doors, vents, and foundations also keeps cold air from reaching exposed plumbing lines.
Another effective method is maintaining consistent indoor temperatures. Even if you’re away from home, keeping the thermostat set to a steady temperature helps prevent sudden drops that can freeze pipes. Opening cabinet doors under sinks allows warm air to circulate around plumbing, which is especially helpful for pipes located along exterior walls.
During extremely cold weather, allowing faucets to drip slightly can also reduce the risk of freezing. Moving water is less likely to freeze, and even a small trickle can relieve pressure inside the pipes. Additionally, disconnecting outdoor hoses and shutting off exterior water lines before winter arrives can prevent freezing and damage to outdoor plumbing connections.
If you notice reduced water flow, frost on pipes, or unusual odors, these could be early warning signs of frozen plumbing. Acting quickly can prevent a minor issue from turning into extensive water damage. For professional inspections, emergency repairs, or winter plumbing maintenance, Pro Plumber Redondo Beach is ready to help keep your home protected all season long.
