1.      At SERVPRO we are experts when it comes to Water Damage and want to provide helpful hints and tips that can potentially stop disasters before they happen. With Winter approaching, it's a good idea to do a quick routine check around your home or business. Being proactive can help you save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Here are some ideas to keep your pipes safe this 2021-2022 Winter Season. Shut Off And Drain Your Outdoor Faucets In the winter, your pipes will sometimes break. In order to avoid this, you need to shut off and drain your water supply outside before the cold weather arrives. To do this, remove any water hoses you may have, turn off the water supply at the spigot and drain it from a pipe leading out of it. Once you have removed the hoses, store them inside such as your garage or storage areas. Fix Leaks Now Before the cold weather, you should set an appointment to have your pipes inspected. If there are any leaks, fix them ASAP. Insulate Water Pipes In Unheated Areas Even after insulating the rest of your home, you should still insulate water pipes in unheated or poorly heated areas. You can also insulate your pipes by putting tape-backed insulation on them. That way they will be better insulated during the winter. Help With Water Damage Restoration
