Winter storms cause frozen pipes

The assisted living hallway set up with SERVPRO air movers.

With certain areas of Central Illinois reaching lows of -15, old man winter let us have it. Extended periods of sub-zero temperatures bring on the dreaded frozen pipes, frozen pipes, of course, lead to broken pipes, which in turn lead to water damage. Depending on how long the water is allowed to run through your house, this could cause some serious damage.

We have learned to adapt to the cold weather temperatures in most cases. Unfortunately for an assisted living facility, the main water line for the sprinkler system, located on an exterior wall froze and broke. Within a matter of 48 hours, SERVPRO was able to have the residents back into their respective rooms.

Don't let a winter disaster, like this one, affect your comfortability this winter. Call your emergency service professionals at SERVPRO of Champaign/Urbana, (217)355-0077.
