Silver Lining Property Restoration Urges Winter Pipe Protection in Southeastern Wisconsin

Silver Lining Property Restoration is urging homeowners and business owners in southeastern Wisconsin to take precautions now to prevent frozen pipes during the upcoming winter. Frozen pipes have been a common occurrence with the onset of winter, and the company provides professional water damage restoration services for residential and commercial properties. More information about those services can be found at https://silverliningpr.com/services/water-restoration/.

Frozen pipes often occur without warning. When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands and puts pressure against the walls of the pipe. The amount of pressure put against the walls of said pipe may result in a break. When this happens, water may flood from the pipe as the ice thaws. Damage is not limited to pipes. Walls, floors, insulation, and personal property may be damaged. Simple steps can protect the property from winter damage. Insulate exposed pipes. Seal any gaps where cold air gets inside. Keep the heat on even when the building is empty. Basements, utility rooms, crawl spaces, and pipes near outside walls freeze the fastest.
