Fall Water Damage Prevention

10/13/2019 (Permalink)

I took a trip through Oklahoma this last weekend, and it was amazing just a quick trip up north could yield such a drastic change in weather. We were traveling through the state fairly early in the morning, and the amount of frost on the grass and fields was really impressive! It was an exciting thing to see - mosquitoes are the bane of my existence after all. But it also made me run through a list in my head of all the things I need to do in preparation for the winter weather that’s inevitably coming our way. 

And it’s a good thing for all of us to think about. Winter is one of our busiest times here at SERVPRO of Grapevine/NE Tarrant Co, not only do we get a frequent amount of rain, but we are usually ill prepared for freezing pipes. It doesn’t often get down below freezing here in the Fort Worth area, but when it does, it often times spells disaster for unsuspecting homeowners. 

So, while it’s still nice and mild out this next week, be sure to do some routine maintenance on your home, such as checking your roof for potential leaks that have may have popped up over the summer, ensure that your exposed pipes are properly insulated, and make sure to turn off your sprinkler system.
