WINTER IS COMING! SERVPRO tips for the frigid cold
1/27/2024 (Permalink)
When most people talk about storm damage it’s usually something they watched on the local news about a hurricane hitting the gulf coast or an F4 tornado destroying areas in tornado alley. Storm damage is also achieved from high winds, hail, and most recently freezing temperatures. Although winter has officially started, the brutal cold temperatures are just beginning.
Tips for freezing temperatures:
- Open cabinet doors where water lines are present to allow air flow.
- Let water drip in faucets to allow movement.
- Make sure all outside lines have no pressure to them and open the line.
- Open access panels allowing warmer air to get into cavities that have water lines.
- If you leave for an extended period of time, shut the water off at the main in your home and have a neighbor or family friend check on the home while you’re away.
- Keep in touch with family members and shut-ins to check on their welfare.
