Whether it is winter or summer, these are the important reasons why homeowners should why their pipes year round.
In the desert, we all know the damaging effects of dry super-hot heat in Tucson. The sun's ultraviolet rays are extremely powerful. The UV light generated from the sun is so powerful, it penetrates the exterior pipes outdoors, making them hot and causing them to become dry and brittle. The result of the Tucson heat and sunlight weakens the structural integrity of the pipe. This may cause a crack, split, separation, expansion, and contraction - even sometimes flooding in front of the Tucson homeowners' house.
ASG Plumbing has pulled up to customers' homes in Tucson and water was flooding down the street - all because the pipes were not properly insulated and plumbing was not protected from the uv light. This is the exact purpose and importance of why ASG Plumbing always insulates your water pipes and plumbing outside.
Throw your pipes some shade. When the Tucson summer sun’s UV rays are beating down on exposed pipes, they can become weakened and damaged. Check exterior pipes for signs of damage and have Anthony replace your pipes if they show signs of stress.

Since the temperature of water at freezing point is 32 degrees- So, pipe wrap, tape and foam Insulation plumbing pipes inside / outdoors should be a necessity. Protect the pipes inside your home One of the best and most cost effective methods for preventing frozen water pipes is to wrap your pipes with insulation. This is a common method of protection in the parts of your house that aren't exposed to heat, such as an attic.
How important is pipe insulation?
Proper insulation around pipes limits heat transfer and provides a vapor barrier against moisture, which improves the thermal efficiency of your home and saves you money. Poorly insulated pipes allow water to condense, which leaves pipes susceptible to standing water that can freeze in cold weather.
Does wrapping pipes really work?
OVERALL COST -- Insulating your hot water pipes reduces heat loss and can raise water temperature 2°F–4°F hotter than uninsulated pipes can deliver, allowing you to lower your water temperature setting. You also won't have to wait as long for hot water when you turn on a faucet or showerhead, which helps conserve water.
Should outside pipes be insulated?
Insulating outdoor pipes can help you save a lot of money. Uninsulated pipes are exposed to the elements, making them prone to damage, possibly turning them into frozen pipes. During the winter months, the water running through your uninsulated pipes can freeze, which can cause the frozen pipes to burst.
Why You Should Insulate Outdoor Pipes?
When you don’t insulate your outdoor pipes, you’re at risk for frozen pipes. When your pipes freeze during the winter, they could burst because of the expanding ice. As a result, you may face flooding problems. During the summer months, It's blistering hot on plastic outdoor plumbing materials.
