Frozen pipe? Here is what you do!
1/26/2021 (Permalink)
We just received snow, rain, and freezing cold temperatures within the last 14 hours. During these days of inclement winter weather we see lots of broken pipes due to pipes freezing. If this happens to you here are a few tips on how to react.
- Locate your main water shut off valve and turn your water off
- Open your faucets so that thawing water can freely drain and relieve the pressure
- Use either a small space heater or a hair dryer to warm up the frozen pipe
- If you find water damage give us a call
If there is water damage our team will clean, restore, and make it “Like it never even happened.” We are a great resource because we do provide free water loss estimates which help you determine whether or not to place a claim through your homeowners insurance. Always remember that your local SERVPRO of Wheaton/Kensington is always here to help!
