Frozen Pipes in Tennessee Winters

Middle Tennessee winters are mostly mild, which is exactly why cold snaps catch people off guard. When temperatures drop into the teens, pipes in crawl spaces, garages and outside walls are at risk.

Before a cold snap

• Disconnect garden hoses and cover outside faucets.
• Close crawl space vents and check insulation on exposed pipes.
• Open sink cabinet doors on outside walls.
• Let faucets drip on the coldest nights.
• Keep the heat on, even if you travel.

If a pipe freezes

Open the faucet and warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer. Never use an open flame.

If a pipe bursts

Shut off the main and call (555) 010-0000. See burst and frozen pipe cleanup.
