Burst Pipe in Naperville?
1/5/2022 (Permalink)
The winter cold season in Illinois lasts for 3.2 months, and January is the coldest month of the year, with an average low of 22 degrees and a high of 33 degrees Fahrenheit. SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South has been helping Naperville residents with water damage issues for many years. We know that our fast emergency response time saves our customers time and money in many cases.
Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute on what you can do if your pipes become frozen:
- If you discover that pipes are frozen, don’t wait for them to burst. Take measures to thaw them immediately or call a plumber for assistance.
- If your pipes burst, first turn off the water and then mop up spills. You don’t want the water to do more damage than it already has.
- Call your agent or company as soon as you can. An insurance adjuster doesn’t need to see the spill before you take action. However, they will want to inspect any damaged items.
- Make temporary repairs and take other steps to protect your property from further damage. Remove any carpet or furniture that can be further damaged from seepage.
- Make a list of the damaged articles and save your receipts for insurance reimbursement
