Winter Storm Hits Your Burr Oak, MI Home

1/2/2021 (Permalink)

If winter storms damage your home and cause water damage, call SERVPRO to make it "Like it never even happened."

Michigan weather is often regarded as unpredictable and hazardous. With the winter chill setting in on your Burr Oak home, it’s time to prepare for ice and snow. SERVPRO of Cass and St. Joseph Counties has some helpful tips to prepare your home for winter weather:

• Keep cabinet doors open during cold spells. This allows warm air to circulate around pipes, helping to prevent frozen pipes.
• Keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets, especially if the pipes for faucets run through unheated or uninsulated areas of your home.
• Ensure gutters are clean and secure. Leaves and debris accumulate, causing a damming effect on gutters, which could lead to roof problems and water damage.
• Proper maintenance on your furnace can help reduce the risk of puffbacks.
