How to Protect Crawl Space Pipes From Freezing

Key takeaways

  • Wrap supply lines with foam insulation
  • Seal the air leaks that blow cold air at them
  • Close or seal foundation vents
  • Consider heat tape where it fits

A frozen pipe under the house is a costly surprise.

Wrap

Foam insulation slows heat loss from supply lines.

Seal

Gaps that blow cold air at the pipes do the most damage.

Vents

Open vents let in winter air, so sealing them helps.

Extra help

Heat tape can add protection when installed and used as directed.
