When you reach the temperature pipe's freeze (20° F or below), exposed pipes in spaces like attics are vulnerable. ❄️ Here are some tips to prevent freezing pipes in your attic.
1. Wrap The Pipes And Water Lines: Pipes in attics and crawl spaces are often exposed to cold air, making them susceptible to freezing.
2. Insulate the Attic: Besides insulating your attic pipes, the best thing to do is insulate the entire attic. A frozen pipe in the attic can affect the entire water line throughout the house, so insulating the attic will go a long way toward keeping the home safe and warm.
3. Airseal The Attic: The cold air that passes through small gaps and holes in the walls causes the temperature to drop inside the home, which could potentially freeze indoor pipes.
4. Keep the Heat On: If you plan to stay away from your house for an extended period during extremely cold weather, keep the heating system inside.
5. Shut Off the Main Water Supply: Besides keeping the heat on, you should consider turning off the water supply when you leave the house for a long time during the winter.
