Is Your Home Winter Ready? - Marion 02738

Fall is the perfect time to get home renovations done before the holidays' approach and guests begin to fill our homes with their presence and presents. Your home remodeling plans may include a new kitchen or a renovated master bedroom, or even a new wing in your home to accommodate your guests and games. All the new plans are great, but it’s important to make sure what is behind the walls isn’t a guessing game for you! 

Oftentimes, it’s the water you don’t see that poses problems and headaches for homeowners. While you may be able to tell when there’s a leak in your roof and water begins to drip from your ceiling, water in your walls can go undetectable until the damage is irreversible causing even more problems such as mold.

One way to ensure your walls and home stays dry during the colder months is to make sure your walls are properly insulated. This helps to keep pipes from freezing and bursting during frigid temperatures. Keeping your faucets at a slow and steady drip will also help to alleviate some pressure from the pipes and keep them from freezing. 

If your home renovation plans don’t include an indoor swimming pool above your living room, SERVPRO of Marion / Middleborough is here to help. Feel free to call us with any questions and ensure you and your guests stay warm and dry.
