Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to break in your home!

Wowzers!

Winter season really did a number on us here in the Pacific Northwest! From wind storms to ice storms we had an astonishing amount of falling trees on homes. This lead to massive water damage as the rain did not stop coming. 

Freezing weather also caused frozen pipes.

If you have a pipe burst, SERVPRO® has trained professionals that can repair all the damages and have your home looking “Like it never even happened.” In the meantime, here are some tips to help prevent your pipes from freezing.

• If the crawl space access is inside the home, set a fan in the opening to blow warm air from the home to the foundation 
• Leave the cabinet doors under the sink open to keep the pipes warm 
• Caulk and seal around doors, windows and faucets 
• Close all foundation vents that are near pipes
