One of the best and most effective ways to protect a water piping system from extreme temperatures is to insulate the pipes. Pipe insulation keeps the pipes from freezing (and potentially bursting) in cold temperatures, while helping to maintain the heat in hot water pipelines. Insulating pipes can also help reduce pipe "chatter," the rattling noise that can happen when faucets are turned on and the water begins running through the pipes. Finally, installing pipe insulation can help with condensation issues while limiting the development of mold.
