How to Prevent Frozen Pipes During Tennessee Winters

24 Hour Plumbing

Updated: Feb 6

Winter in Tennessee can bring unpredictable weather, and when temperatures drop, your home’s plumbing can be at risk. Frozen pipes are a common problem that can lead to costly repairs if not addressed. At Twenty-Four Hour Plumbing LLC, we want to help Middle Tennessee homeowners protect their plumbing during the colder months. Here’s how to safeguard your pipes this winter.



How to Prevent Frozen Pipes During Tennessee Winters


Why Frozen Pipes Are a Problem

When water inside your pipes freezes, it expands, creating pressure that can cause pipes to crack or burst. This can result in water damage, high repair costs, and unexpected plumbing emergencies.



6 Tips to Prevent Frozen Pipes


  1. Keep Faucets Dripping

Allowing your faucets to drip during freezing temperatures helps keep water moving through your pipes, reducing the risk of freezing.


  1. Insulate Exposed Pipes

Pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics, or garages are especially vulnerable. Wrap them with foam insulation or heat tape for added protection.


  1. Seal Gaps and Cracks

Inspect your home for gaps or cracks near pipes, especially around doors, windows, and exterior walls. Use caulk or insulation to seal these areas and keep cold air out.


  1. Open Cabinet Doors

Open the cabinet doors under your kitchen and bathroom sinks to let warm air circulate around the pipes.


  1. Maintain a Consistent Temperature

Keep your thermostat set to a consistent temperature, even when you’re not home. A small increase in your heating bill is better than the cost of repairing burst pipes.


  1. Leave a Steady Drip on Below Freezing Night

Remember on below freezing nights a drip might not be enough. On those nights a steady stream of water might be needed to avoid freezing.
