As winter's chill descends upon North Central Ohio, the risk of home accidents and damage escalates. The cold weather brings unique challenges, from heating safety to the threat of frozen pipes. At Rainbow Restoration, we understand these risks and are committed to helping you navigate them while standing ready to assist should any damage occur.
Heating Safety
Central to winter comfort, heaters, fireplaces, and furnaces are also common sources of house fires. To ensure safety, always keep flammable materials away from heat sources. Regularly inspect and maintain your heating systems; a professional check of your furnace and chimney can prevent potential hazards. Remember, never leave portable heaters unattended and always use them on a stable, flat surface.
Preventing Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are a leading cause of water damage in homes during winter. To prevent pipes from freezing, insulate them, especially those in unheated areas like basements and garages. Letting a faucet drip slightly during extremely cold spells can prevent freezing. Keep your home's thermostat set to a consistent temperature day and night to avoid sudden drops that could lead to freezing.
Snow and Ice Removal
Accumulated snow and ice pose risks of slips and falls, as well as potential roof damage. Regularly clear walkways and driveways to prevent accidents. Pay attention to your roof; excessive snow accumulation can lead to ice dams and structural stress. Safely removing snow from your roof can prevent these issues.
