It is no secret that winter in Minnesota means very cold and many times ‘freezing’ temperatures along with strong winds. We experienced quite the cold snap a week ago in the Minneapolis area. That combination can cause the potential for frozen pipes. Frozen water inside of a pipe adds pressure and weight, which can eventually crack or burst the pipe.
A burst pipe can have a serious and costly effect on your home or business. However, there are things you can do to be prepared for these freezing conditions. And if you do experience a burst pipe, there are steps to take to limit the damage and expedite the clean-up process.
24Restore specializes in quick water extraction and aggressive drying of structures (commercial and residential). No job is too small or too big.
Any areas of your home or business where pipes are present should be well heated during the winter and well insulated. It’s optimal to keep the temperature above freezing, around 50 degrees Fahrenheit as a minimum to be safe.
If the area cannot be heated, make sure the area is well insulated to help decrease the chance of freezing.
When you know temperatures are going to dip below freezing like they are this week, leaving your faucets dripping and cabinet doors under sinks open can also help prevent pipes from freezing.
Know where your main water shutoff valve is. I know I repeat this over and over in my blogs. But this really is one of the most important things to be aware of to quickly stop the extent of water damage. Shutting the water off can prevent additional areas of damage from adding to the immediate problem. Do this assuming it is safe to do so. Be aware of any electrical devices or open circuits that could cause electrocution. And if in doubt, always wait for a professional to handle the shutoff.
The temps are thankfully warming up this week! I think all of Minneapolis will be singing a hallelujah on that note! I don’t know about you, but I am ready to be past 20 degrees and below for the season.
Also, remember as it warms up that frozen pipes can go unnoticed until they start to thaw, that is when they will ‘pop’, break. Keep a watchful eye out. Remember, if you are traveling and going to be gone for a period of time, shut your main water valve off before you leave.
If you are in need of a water damage clean-up, call 24Restore to stabilize and fix the situation. We strive to be the only call you will have to make. Our highly trained mitigation team will be able to take you thru the clean-up process. They will also explain to you everything we provide on the restoration side to restore your home or business to the way it was prior to the disaster, if not better.
Enjoy the longer days, sunshine and the warmer temps that I know are on the horizon Twin Cities! (I’m speaking it!!!)
“24Restore came within an hour of our water damage to assess the problem and restore and reconstruct our kitchen and my office. Everyone from 24Restore was professional, kind and did an outstanding job of damage assessment and restoration.”
Your service was excellent. The young man was thorough and very dedicated to completing the job. He’s a good one. I would recommend your services to anyone who need them.
Your team has been absolutely amazing, professional, sympathetic and wonderful. They took my mess and made it manageable as I shed a few tears, which they also consoled with empathy. At a time when we have floods and tornados city wide you responded within hours. Thank, I am impressed and I have passed the word on to many.
Very good experience……everyone I dealt with through 24 Restore was very professional and very kind.
This note is a note of thanks and appreciation of the services provided…..we could even say our home looks better than before we incurred our water damage…Job well done!
I don’t often take the time to write a follow up complimentary letter. However I was very impressed with 24 Restore and felt they went above and beyond to surpass expectations with WOW service. Thank you for the great service and great job that your team did to get my house back in shape.
I have recommended them to many of my friends. They are the only service that I have ever used that always gets my stains out and that clean my carpets beautifully. I can’t say enough good thins about them
Thank you for all the work put in to get out home……It would have been an impossible task for us to have accomplished in such a short time. We appreciate all that you have done for us! We are so grateful!
Yes. I appreciated the ability to funnel all activities thru a one-stop shop proved to be very valuable in a disaster project such as ours demo, construction and finish as well as work directly with insurance company. The team has been professional and those on site have been respectful of our home and schedule.
Alex did a great job scheduling, coordinating, and keeping me informed. He made sure that everything was done in a timely manner. I always felt that my job was a priority. All the workmen did a great job and were very polite. I am pleased with the results. I would highly recommend your company!
From the time of initial contact to the time of job completion was 24 hrs. Very pleased with job outcome. Will definitely use you again. If ever in need.
Response time was awesome. We we’re bewildered by what was happening and what needed to be done. 24hr came in and took care of what needed to be done.
I thought 24 was very professional and timely work.
24Restore was very responsive and did a thorough job plus they cleaned up after themselves.
The job was exceptionally well done. You were recommended to me by Dennis Carlson, a freind and I would definatley refer 24restore to friends and family.
