Michigan winters are unpredictable and frigid temperatures create several risks that can cause extensive water damage to your home or business. There are ways to prevent extensive water damage to your home. If water damage does occur or you suspect that water is entering your home call a professional water restoration company as soon as possible to determine the best course of action.
Water Restoration for Winter Water Damage
One of the major problems caused by cold winter weather is frozen pipes. When the water in your pipes freezes and expands it can cause your pipes to crack and leak. The water from your pipes can enter your home ruining its structural integrity and creating an environment where mold growth can occur. The build-up of pressure can also cause your pipes to burst and damage your pipes and the surrounding area. Both of these scenarios can cause costly repairs and require professional water restoration. They can be averted with a few preventive measures.
Water Restoration Prevention
There are a few steps you can take to protect your home from potential water damage this winter. If you have any exposed pipes it is important that they are properly insulated before the temperature drops too low. Opening any cabinets with pipes allows warm air to reach them and prevent them from freezing. It is also a good idea to shut off the water going to outdoor spigots and detach any hoses. Make sure to get most of the water out of your hose so it does not get damaged over winter. If you need any help or have questions a professional water restoration team can help.
