Avoid Frozen Pipes; Insulate
Michigan has endured a deep freeze this winter so it is more important than ever to make sure that your pipes can withstand the frigid temperatures. Water pipes in the attic, crawl space, and basement need to be insulated. Foam insulation is available at most hardware stores and can be easily secured using electrical tape or copper wire. These exposed pipes as well as those that share an outside wall and the pipe between the water meter and your home are most susceptible to freezing. Avoid the headache of a bursting pipe, prepare your home.

Preventing Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are often a homeowner’s worst nightmare. Fortunately, there is a lot you can do as a homeowner to reduce the chance of your pipes freezing. Take time to address the following recommendations as temperature wind chills have dropped below freezing this winter already.
Proactive Measures
Take inventory of the uninsulated pipes in the unheated areas of your home. Heating uninhabitable areas is an inefficient use of energy; however, it is important for the pipes in these areas to be protected from extreme temperatures.
When indoor pipes are exposed to temperatures below freezing they can freeze within minutes and without any warning. To prevent this from happening, apply pipe insulation to every instance of vulnerable pipe. Special bend covers are available to cover non-linear sections. You should also be alert to pipes which run directly against exterior walls, even those within heated rooms. Temperature exchange between walls and pipes can occur rapidly.
Insulation is also useful for areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces. By insulating these areas, your furnace will be able to function more efficiently and pipes naturally will remain warmer in the winter.
Keep your water heater maintained to make certain that it is fully operational this winter. Sending frigid water through extremely cold pipes is a recipe for disaster.
