January is here, and with it comes unpredictable weather that can challenge homeowners and businesses alike. From frigid temperatures to unexpected storms, this time of year can put your property to the test. At SERVPRO, we’re here to help you stay prepared and protect what matters most.

Cold Weather Challenges
Winter storms can bring snow, ice, and freezing rain, increasing the risk of property damage. Burst pipes are one of the most common issues during January, often caused by freezing temperatures. To prevent this, insulate exposed pipes and let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold.

Melting Snow and Water Damage
As snow and ice begin to melt, they can seep into foundations and basements, causing water damage. Check your home for proper drainage, clear gutters of debris, and ensure sump pumps are in working condition.

Storm Preparedness
Severe winter storms can knock out power and cause structural damage. Keep an emergency kit on hand, including flashlights, batteries, and blankets. Trim weak tree branches near your property to reduce the risk of them falling during high winds or heavy snow.
