Silver Lining Property Restoration is urging homeowners and business owners in southeastern Wisconsin to take precautions to prevent frozen pipes during the upcoming winter season. The company, which provides professional water damage restoration services for residential and commercial properties, emphasizes that frozen pipes often occur without warning and can lead to significant property damage.
When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands and puts pressure against the pipe walls, potentially causing breaks that allow water to flood as the ice thaws. This damage extends beyond pipes to walls, floors, insulation, and personal property. The company recommends several simple protective measures: insulating exposed pipes, sealing gaps where cold air enters, maintaining heat even in unoccupied buildings, and paying special attention to basements, utility rooms, crawl spaces, and pipes near outside walls, which freeze most rapidly.
