As your trusted local HVAC and plumbing experts in the Tri-State area, we at NexAir Home Services understand the unique challenges that West Virginia winters bring to homeowners. One of the most concerning issues we encounter during the cold season is the risk of frozen water pipes, which can lead to costly repairs and significant property damage.
h2>Why Pipes Freeze in West Virginia Homes
Our region’s temperature fluctuations can be particularly harsh on plumbing systems. When temperatures drop below freezing, the water inside your pipes can expand, creating pressure that may cause pipes to crack or burst. This is especially common in:
• Exterior wall plumbing
• Unheated spaces like basements and crawl spaces
• Garages and outbuildings
• Outdoor spigots and irrigation systems
h2>Prevention Tips from Your Local Experts
As a family-owned, veteran-owned business serving communities from Huntington to Hurricane, we’ve developed proven strategies to protect your home’s plumbing:
1. Insulate exposed pipes with foam sleeves or heat tape
2. Keep garage doors closed during cold snaps
3. Maintain consistent indoor temperatures, even when away
4. Allow faucets to drip during extreme cold weather
5. Know the location of your main water shutoff valve
