Winter Storm and Freezing Pipes

2/17/2021 (Permalink)

Winter weather, specifically ice, can cause a lot of damage to your home.  There are some things that can be done to help prevent the damage from occurring. According to the CDC, here are a few recommendations on ways to best weatherproof your home:

• Insulate any water lines that run along exterior walls so your water supply will be less likely to freeze.
• Caulk and weather strip doors and windows.
• Insulate walls and attic.
• Install storm or thermal-pane windows or cover windows with plastic from the inside.
• Repair roof leaks and cut away tree branches that could fall on your home or other structure during a storm.

Hopefully you are not someone that has a tree fall on your home; however, if you find yourself in this situation, or even just have a small amount of water leaking in from somewhere, give us a call.  We can help by providing board up and tarping if needed.  Even though this can be a scary and overwhelming situation, SERVPRO is here to make it “Like it never even happened.”
