Winter Storm

1/15/2018 (Permalink)

Does this seem like the wettest winter in Sugar Land?  Temperatures are lower, more rain has fallen, and heavier winds have over taken Sugar Land.   If we recall correctly, it has been a long time since we’ve seen these kinds of weather patterns.  While we have no control over the weather, we do have the opportunity to keep the weather from affecting our homes or business.  To help prevent weather related damages from hurting your home or business, apply some of the following to tips to protect your property:

• Keep gutters clear of leaves, sticks and other debris to help ensure it can drain properly. Make sure downspouts direct water away from the home or business
• Wrap water pipes in your crawl spaces with insulation sleeves to slow heat transfer and prevent freezing
• If you have a fireplace, keep the flue closed when you're not using it
• Keep a slow trickle of water flowing through faucets connected to pipes that run through unheated or unprotected spaces 

Give SERVPRO of Sugar Land a call if you have any additional questions.  Our team is always here to help when disaster strikes!
