How Can Winter Weather Impact Local Properties?

Between frozen pipes and ice damming Mount Kisco homes might experience this winter season, restorers of our SERVPRO team must stay prepared to help. Conditions for households can change rapidly, leading to several types of threats like:

• Frozen water service lines
• Damaging water fixtures
• Roof damages 
• Ice buildup 
• Flooding

Can You Keep Pipes from Freezing?

Preventing freezing and expanding of pipes begins with securing them from direct exposure to extreme temperatures. Vulnerable fixtures and pipe portions should be sufficiently insulated and surrounded by warm air.

How Do You Prevent Ice Formation on the Roof?

It is possible to prevent ice formation on the roof of your house, mostly through measures taken earlier before compromising situations and severe temperatures are factors. Direct action homeowners can take is to install heated cables spanning more than a foot of the edge of the roof. This steady warmth makes this space incapable of supporting ice, and threats like dams are impossible.
