Preventing Fire Hazards During the Winter
With the ups and downs of temperatures, as we leave winter, the use of heating sources such as fireplaces, space heaters and furnaces is common. But watch out for improper handling of these items. Misuse can create significant fire hazards within homes. Storing flammable items like hand sanitizer and rubbing alcohol away from heat sources is essential to prevent potential house fires. Additionally, regular maintenance and inspection of heating appliances can identify potential hazards and mitigate fire risks. Homeowners should implement these safety measures so that they can enjoy a warm and cozy environment free from the threat of fire-related incidents.
In the event of a fire, our team of experts can provide a number of restorative services from assessing damage to removing, cleaning and storing salvageable items while we repair your property.
Avoid Water Damage, Starting at the Home’s Exterior
With the onset of warmer temperatures and melting ice, clogged gutters become a prevalent concern for homeowners. Excess debris can lead to water accumulating gutters, potentially compromising the structural integrity of a home and resulting in costly water damage repairs. Regular inspections and cleaning out of gutters are imperative to remove debris and ensure water is draining effectively away from your home. By proactively addressing gutter maintenance, homeowners can decrease the risk of flooding or water-related damage and in turn, preserve the integrity of their homes and possessions.
Safeguard the Pipes in Your Home from Freezing
Sudden temperature drops can affect the pipes throughout your home, leading to potential bursts and damage. Flooding due to a burst pipe can cause extensive damage to your home and possessions, resulting in repairs that are costly and inconvenient for homeowners. In the event of freezing temperatures, pipes that are uninsulated and exposed to the cold are at high risk, so it is vital that homeowners take extra precautions during the winter months to keep their pipes working. Insulating exposed pipes and allowing faucets to drip during cold spells can prevent freezing and mitigate the risk of a burst pipe. Additionally, homeowners should remain vigilant for signs of freezing such as reduced water flow from sinks or showers or unusual noises when using faucets. By taking proactive measures to protect plumbing systems, you can avoid costly repairs due to cold weather damage and maintain the functionality of your home.
We at American Restoration Water & Fire are ready to assess any damage done to homes due to burst pipes and flooding so that we can restore your home to its former glory.
