SUB-ZERO PLUMBING RISKS
Preventing Frozen Pipes in the Mat-Su Borough
With winter temperatures regularly dipping well below zero in Wasilla and Palmer, uninsulated crawlspaces and exterior walls threaten water lines:
PEX-A Flexibility Under Freezing
Unlike rigid copper or PVC, PEX-A expansion piping can expand up to 300% of its volume before bursting, drastically reducing catastrophic flood damage.
Cold-Well Groundwater Recovery
Winter well water in the Mat-Su Valley enters homes at 38°F to 42°F. We size water heaters specifically for this massive 80-degree temperature rise.
Vented Crawlspace Protection
Crawlspace vents left open during winter can freeze plumbing within hours. We help homeowners insulate rim joists and install thermostatic crawlspace protections.
