As winter settles over Waco, protecting your home from the cold is essential. Frozen pipes are one of the most common winter plumbing issues, often leading to costly repairs and significant water damage. Proper insulation is the key to safeguarding your plumbing system, ensuring your home remains safe and efficient during the colder months.
At Lochridge Priest Home Services, we bring over 60 years of expertise to homeowners in Waco and surrounding areas like Temple and Killeen. Our comprehensive insulation and plumbing services are designed to protect your home and provide you with peace of mind.
Why Frozen Pipes Are Dangerous
Frozen pipes aren’t just inconvenient—they can cause serious damage. When water freezes, it expands, creating pressure that can crack or burst your pipes. This can lead to:
- Water Damage: Flooding can destroy floors, walls, and personal belongings.
- Mold Growth: Moisture from leaks creates a breeding ground for mold.
- Costly Repairs: Fixing burst pipes and related damages can be expensive.
Taking proactive steps to prevent frozen pipes is crucial for avoiding these risks.
How Insulation Prevents Frozen Pipes
Insulation provides a protective barrier around your pipes, helping to maintain a consistent temperature and reducing the risk of freezing. It also improves energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss, keeping your home warmer while lowering utility bills.

- Maintain a Warm Indoor Temperature: Keep your thermostat at a minimum of 55°F, even when you’re not home.
- Seal Drafts: Identify and seal any gaps or cracks in your home’s exterior to keep cold air out.
- Open Cabinet Doors: Allow warm air to circulate around pipes under sinks, especially those on exterior walls.
