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.

Disaster recovery helps property owners respond quickly to a catastrophic event. It allows owners to restore their losses and recover them back to a normal condition. If you have experienced property damage due to a natural disaster, a disaster recovery plan should efficiently cover all aspects of restoration and reconstruction. The goal is to lessen the worry of the recovery process, and to become completely satisfied with the end project.

How to Prevent Basement Flooding

By Daniel Rousseau • February 24, 2023
A basement flooding can occur at any time, but there are things you can do to potentially prevent a flood from ever happening. You want to be sure there are no cracks in the foundation, or walls that would allow water to leak through and that everything is sealed properly. You also need to make sure that there are no cracked, broken, or clogged pipes and that your drainage system is running correctly. Gutters around your home should be cleared from any debris so that when it rains the water flows correctly and away from your home. Most importantly, you want to make sure your drainage tile system and sump pump are working 100% effectively. If the drainage tile around your foundation is not running correctly, your sump pump will never receive the excess water to pump out your basement. Taking all these measures will save you from thousands of dollars in damage and prevent your basement from flooding.
