ProfessionalWinter Pipe Insulation
When temperatures drop, uninsulated pipes in unheated spaces are the first to freeze — and a burst pipe can release dozens of gallons a minute inside a wall or floor. We wrap every vulnerable run before cold weather arrives, focusing on the spots that matter most: crawlspaces, exterior walls, garages, and under-slab areas.
Also known as: winter pipe insulation, pipe freeze protection, insulate pipes for winter, pipe wrap winter, prevent frozen pipes, pipe insulation crawlspace, pipe inslation winter

Simple & stress-free
How it works
Assess vulnerable runs
We walk through unheated areas, identify all exposed supply lines, and note which runs are most exposed to outside temperature swings.
Cut and fit insulation
We size foam tube insulation to each pipe diameter, slit it, press it on, and trim around fittings, valves, and elbows.
Seal and tape
We close all seams with foam tape and check that no pipe sections are left uncovered, particularly at wall penetrations where cold air can travel.
We can help
Problems we fix
- Pipes in crawlspaces that freeze because foundation vents let in cold air during hard freezes
- Garage supply lines that run in uninsulated exterior walls
- Pipes in older homes that run close to exterior wall cavities without insulation between them and the outside
- Partially insulated runs where gaps at fittings allow localized freezing
Good to know
Winter Pipe Insulation — FAQ
How cold does it need to get for pipes to freeze?
Pipes in unheated spaces can begin to freeze when exterior temperatures drop below 20°F for extended periods. Pipes near exterior walls can be at risk even above that threshold when wind chill factors in.
Is foam insulation enough, or do I need heat tape too?
Foam insulation is the right first step for most homes. In areas that get extremely cold or have pipes in particularly exposed locations, adding self-regulating heat tape provides an extra layer of protection.
Can you do this in cold weather, or does it need to be done before winter?
We can install pipe insulation in any weather — it goes on over the outside of the pipe, so we don't need to access the interior. Better before a cold snap, but anytime works.
