Cold Weather Garage & Utility Room Prep

Explains how to prepare garages and utility rooms for cold weather in Texas homes.

Garages are often the coldest part of Texas homes. Exposed plumbing, water heaters, and utility lines in these spaces are especially vulnerable during freezes.

Sealing air gaps, insulating exposed pipes, and keeping garage doors closed during cold snaps can help prevent frozen pipes and equipment damage.

A little garage preparation can help avoid major plumbing issues later.
