Freeze warnings can lead to frozen pipes and resulting water damages.

Watch Out for Freezing Temps Tonight!

Winter weather can catch us off guard in Jacksonville and North Florida. All it takes is a few hours of freezing temperatures for your pipes to freeze.

Here are some helpful hints to help you avoid problems:

• Keep one or two faucets dripping
• Direct warm air to any colder areas of your home
• Leave cabinet doors open to allow warm air in--especially if your kitchen sink is on an outside wall
• Disconnect your hose from the outside faucet
• Seal leaks that allow cold air into your home where pipes are located

Water damage caused by frozen pipes can be one of the most damaging problems a homeowner can face. Most homeowners insurance will cover damage resulting from a frozen pipe provided you can prove that you took measures to prevent the pipe from freezing.

The good news is that SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Jacksonville Northeast will be here to help 24/7 if you run into frozen pipes and resulting water damage problems. Call us at 904-729-2401.
