Why Pipe Insulation Matters for Norfolk Homes
Although winters in Norfolk, VA, are fairly mild, we do get the occasional cold snap, with the mercury dropping below freezing. When that happens, the water in exposed pipes can freeze, and as ice has more volume than water, the pipes will then expand. The high pressure from water trying to force its way through the pipe will worsen the issue, eventually leading to a burst.
Insulation guards against this outcome, keeping the worst of the winter temperatures away from those pipes and ensuring they remain operational during extreme cold snaps. Furthermore, insulation minimizes condensation and moisture buildup, while also reducing energy loss in hot water pipes.
When to Schedule Pipe Insulation
We offer thermal pipe insulation in Norfolk throughout the year, so it’s never too early to book a visit. Most customers request our insulation services after a frozen pipe scare, at which point they realize how susceptible their pipes are to freezing and do their best to prevent a recurrence.
The best times to insulate pipes in crawl spaces, basements, and attics include:
- Before a cold snap
- When you’re going on an extended vacation
- If you’ve just bought an older home
- Following an addition/renovation to your attic, crawl space, or basement
We also help many homeowners deal with the aftermath of frozen pipes, including leaks and bursts. We can help them thaw frozen pipes and also repair leaking and burst pipes, but prevention is the best cure, and insulating pipes in advance could save you a lot of money and hassle in the long run.
