Winter is Coming: Protect Your Home with Insulated Pipes

Winter can be a magical time—cozy nights, warm drinks, and maybe even a dusting of snow. But for homeowners, the cold season also brings a big concern: frozen and burst water pipes. If you’ve ever dealt with the nightmare of a busted pipe, you know it’s not something you want to experience again. The good news? With a little preparation, you can avoid this costly disaster.

At Poe’s Handyman Services, we’ve been helping Columbia, Tennessee homeowners prepare their homes for winter for over five years. I’m Luke Gibbs, and I’m here to share some tips on how you can protect your water pipes this winter. And if you need a hand, my team and I are just a call away!

Why Insulate Your Water Pipes?

Frozen pipes don’t just stop water flow—they can crack under pressure. When the ice inside expands, it can cause splits in the pipe, leading to leaks or even major water damage when things thaw.

A burst pipe repair isn’t cheap and can disrupt your entire household. Insulating your pipes is an affordable and simple solution to prevent these headaches. It also helps improve energy efficiency by keeping hot water warmer for longer, saving on energy bills!

How to Insulate Your Pipes

Here’s a quick guide to insulating your pipes. If it feels like too much or you’re short on time, remember—Poe’s Handyman Services is here to do it for you.

1. Locate Exposed Pipes Check areas like your attic, basement, garage, or crawl spaces for exposed pipes. Pipes along exterior walls are also at higher risk.

2. Choose the Right Insulation Foam pipe sleeves are a popular choice. They’re easy to install and available at most hardware stores. For tight spaces, use fiberglass wrap or heat tape.

3. Install the Insulation Measure and cut the insulation material to fit your pipes. Secure it with duct tape or zip ties to ensure it stays in place.

4. Seal Drafty Areas Don’t forget to check for drafts near pipe openings. Use caulk or spray foam to seal gaps where cold air might sneak in.
