Need Water Cleanup After a Pipe Ruptures in a Lake Zurich Home – Call SERVPRO

Plumbing in cold basements is always at risk of freezing in Lake Zurich during cold weather. Unless you pay attention to the temperature in unfinished basements, the temperature can become 10 to 15 degrees colder than your living areas. Add a malfunctioning furnace or a power failure, and the water in the plumbing can quickly freeze, rupturing copper or plastic pipes and pouring hundreds of gallons of water into your basement.

SERVPRO can assist with water cleanup in homes in Lake Zurich caused by ruptured plumbing or any other type of water leak you have to contend with. Whether it is an unfinished or finished basement, water can do a great deal of damage to anything sitting on the floor. Boxes and other goods stored in the basement soak up the water and can be permanently damaged if not dried quickly.

Many homeowners will arrange for the plumbing to be repaired and begin mopping up the water as best they can. If the space is not dried properly and the humidity level is reduced to the normal range, damp basements can lead to mold colonies, and mold can cause health effects in many people.

SERVPRO can help with:

• Basement flooding cleanup
• Burst pipes
• Ceiling leaks

During severe cold weather, homeowners may want to consider taking action to protect plumbing that could be susceptible to the extreme cold. For example:

• Keep the living areas warmer than normal
• Open hot air vents in the basement to keep the area above freezing
• In extreme cold, let water taps run slowly to keep water moving in the pipes
• Insulate hot and cold water plumbing to prevent frozen pipes.
