Preventing Water Damage From Frozen Pipes

2/1/2022 (Permalink)

Temperatures have reached way below freezing already this year. During this kind of weather it is very important to prepare your home for the harsh weather.

• Make sure your pipes are insulated. You can even buy heat tape to wrap your exposed pipes in at your local hardware store.
• It is also a good idea to leave your cold water dripping in the night, and when you will not be frequently using water. This keeps movement in your line and helps to prevent freezing.

When water freezes it expands. When this happens in an enclosed area. Such as a pipe. It can cause severe damage. Your pipes can burst under the pressure and leave your home soaked. Winter is one of our busiest times of year, and frozen pipes are the leading cause of water damage in the winter. So stay warm, and stay dry this winter and if you happen to have a water damage give SERVPRO of Zanesville/Cambridge a call at (740) 844-0977.
