A pipe connected to the sump pump froze and cracked causing major damage.

It's that time of year again!!  November through late March is the time of year when pipes can freeze and burst!  Here are a few simple tips to prepare your home or business for winter weather!

-If you have a second home and don't plan on being there in the winter.  Call a local licensed plumber and have them winterize your home

-Keep cabinet doors open during cold spells

-Keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets, especially if the pipes for faucets run through unheated areas of the home.

-Consider shutting off outside faucets.

-If you leave for multiple days at a time, always keep your thermostat above 60 degrees to keep outside walls from getting too cold.  

Call SERVPRO of Cass & St. Joseph Counties to make your water damage "Like it never even happened."
