Memphis winters are unpredictable — long mild periods followed by sudden overnight freezes that don’t give plumbing time to adapt. Many homes here have pipes running through crawlspaces or exterior walls, where loess soil stays damp and cold longer after rain. When temperatures drop quickly, that moisture pulls heat away from exposed lines, increasing freeze risk even when air temps don’t seem extreme. Older homes, especially in Midtown and East Memphis, often have minimal insulation around supply lines, which makes them vulnerable during sharp cold snaps. Our team focuses on identifying where pipes lose heat first and protecting those weak points before winter weather shows up.
