Pipe Insulation and Freeze Protection
Pipes in a crawl space are the first to freeze. We wrap them with insulation, add heat tape where needed and seal the air leaks that bring in the cold, so your plumbing is better protected.

Questions
About pipe insulation and freeze protection
Does pipe insulation stop freezing?
It slows heat loss, but it cannot make heat. Sealing the space and keeping it milder gives the best protection.
Do I need heat tape?
Sometimes, for exposed or problem runs. We recommend it when it makes sense.
