Harsh Conditions Can Even Exist In Myrtle Beach

Interior Plumbing That Is Exposed

Basement pipes that are exposed are not usually in danger of freezing because most basements are usually shielded from the elements. That being said there are not a whole lot of basements in South Carolina so plumbing pipes in areas, like an attic, crawl space, and garage, are often at risk of freezing.

In most cases in Myrtle Beach the temperatures do not dip below freezing and stay that way for long periods of time so you can most likely get away with just using some foam insulating pipe covers. If you are really worried about it and want an extra bit of protection you can wrap your pipes in heat tape, which activates when temperatures drop.

If you do happen to have a pipe burst and cause water damage please give SERVPRO a call 843-236-6278
