Hers & His Plumbing Encourages Homeowners to Prepare Pipes for Sudden Georgia Winter Freezes
As temperatures begin to shift across North Georgia, Hers & His Plumbing is reminding homeowners in Atlanta and Augusta to protect their plumbing systems from unexpected winter freezes.

Although the region is known for its mild winters, sudden cold fronts can arrive with little warning, causing outside faucets, poorly insulated pipes, and garage or attic plumbing to freeze and burst. These rapid drops in temperature are among the leading causes of winter water damage in Georgia homes.

Frozen pipes can create costly repairs by expanding and cracking when water inside them turns to ice. Even after temperatures warm back up, thawing can lead to leaks, flooding, and hidden water damage behind walls and floors. Homes with plumbing in unheated areas—such as bonus rooms above garages, outdoor kitchens, crawl spaces, and older basement layouts—are especially vulnerable. Hers & His Plumbing recommends proactive preparation rather than waiting for a freeze warning to take action.

Preventative measures are simple and can significantly reduce winter plumbing risks. Homeowners should insulate exposed pipes, disconnect garden hoses, and cover outdoor spigots with freeze protection covers. Opening cabinets near sinks during a freeze and keeping a slow drip running overnight can help maintain water flow and reduce the chances of pipes freezing. For homes undergoing renovations or additions, professional insulation and rerouting of vulnerable plumbing lines may be needed to avoid long-term issues.

Residents in Atlanta and Augusta can help protect their homes with these steps:

  • Insulating pipes in attics, crawl spaces, garages, and outdoor walls

  • Disconnecting garden hoses and covering outdoor spigots before freezes

  • Allowing indoor faucets to drip slowly on freezing nights

  • Keeping cabinet doors open to allow warm air to reach pipes

  • Using heat tape or pipe insulation on plumbing in unheated areas


Hers & His Plumbing provides professional inspections, insulation recommendations, pipe repairs, and emergency services to help homeowners prevent or address issues related to winter freezing. With unpredictable cold snaps becoming more common, taking preventative measures can reduce repair costs and protect household plumbing throughout the winter season.
