Winter is coming to Golden Wheat Ridge Evergreen

As the temperatures prepare to drop are you preparing too? Freezing temps can lead to frozen pipes, and frozen pipes lead to burst pipes and winter flooding! When disaster strikes it is important to act quickly. When you are dealing with water damage, immediate action is crucial. A delay of just a few hours can greatly increase the severity of the water damage.

First shut off the water supply.

Second call SERVPRO of Golden Wheat Ridge Evergreen at 303-279-8055.

We answer the phones 24 hours a day and have 24 hour on call service. When time is of the essence rely on a company who understands that and is ready to help.

With these simple steps you can help PREVENT frozen pipes on those sub-zero days:

• Insulate interior pipes that are along exterior walls (think kitchen sinks)
• Leave under sink cabinet doors open to allow better air, and heat, circulation to the pipes.
• Leave your faucets dripping or a very low trickle to help prevent freezing.
• Set your heat to one steady temp during the cold snap rather than programing the heat to lower at night
• Make sure exterior faucets water lines are shut off and the faucet itself is left open
