When extreme winter temperatures set in, Hammer Restoration would like to remind home and business owners that specialists are available 24/7. Certified experts are available to immediately assist with water or mold damage from broken pipes..
As the temperature plummets, freezing water expands putting pressure on pipes. A broken pipe can quickly release hundreds of gallons of water throughout several levels of floors from a basement to a crawl space. Damp areas are extremely susceptible to mold.
Hammer Restoration advises property owners to take proper precautions to prevent frozen pipes. Steps to prevent frozen pipes include eliminating drafts near windows and doors, opening kitchen and bathroom cabinets to allow warmer air to circulate around pipes, setting the thermostat during day and night, and wrapping exposed pipes in insulation.
If you experience a disruption in your water service, check to see if your pipes are frozen or damaged. In the case of frozen or leaking pipes, immediately shut off the water and call Hammer Restoration’s 24/7 emergency line at (800) 601-9925.
Hammer Restoration’s team of trained and certified experts are ready to help in your time of need. Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, experts respond within two hours of your call. From the beginning, the scope of work, the price, and the timeline will be communicated to you and your insurance company. Hammer Restoration’s mission is to provide you peace of mind during a disaster.
