As we recover from last week's ice storm, it is important to check for potential side effects in your home.
11 months ago, Creswell Admin
Things to Check For After an Ice Storm. Leaks: The heavy wind can blow leaves into your gutter, which in turn can get clogged and cause water to leak inside your home. Melted snow can also leak into your basement. Flooding: Pipes can burst during cold snaps, leading to flooding and water damage. The sump pump can also be blocked by freezing temperatures and force water back into your house. Fires: Heating equipment plugged into an overloaded outlet and an unattended fireplace are two common causes of fires during a severe winter storm.
Happy Wednesday, Creswell! We hope your day is amazing!
