Last-Minute Tips to Protect Your Property from the Extreme Cold!

The cold is here, and it's not too late to take action to protect your property! Here are some quick steps you can still take to prevent damage:

.

.

Open Cabinet Doors: Allow warmer air to circulate around pipes, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. This can help prevent pipes from freezing.

Let Faucets Drip: Keep a slow trickle of water running in faucets connected to exterior walls. This can prevent pressure buildup in frozen pipes.

Check Your Thermostat: Make sure your thermostat is set at a consistent temperature (at least 55°F) to prevent freezing.

Inspect for Drafts: Use towels or blankets to block drafts from windows and doors. This will help keep the cold out and the warmth in!

Keep Heat Running: If you have a second home or rental property, ensure the heat is running, even if you're not there. A sudden power outage can cause pipes to freeze quickly.

Clear Gutters and Drains: Ensure your gutters are free of debris to prevent ice dams that can lead to roof leaks or water damage.

Test Your Sump Pump: Ensure your sump pump is working to prevent water buildup in your basement or crawl space, which can freeze and cause flooding.

Don’t wait until it's too late! If you experience any issues or need immediate restoration services, we’re here to help.
