Long-Term Strategies to Prevent Water Damage in Castle Rock & Colorado Springs

Long-term strategies for water damage prevention involve regular home maintenance year-round. Pipes in the water supply system that are exposed to cold outdoor air are more likely to freeze and burst. The main water pipe carrying water to your home is an example of such a pipe. Exterior wall water pipes, as well as attic pipes, basement or crawlspace pipes, and garage pipes are more liable to freeze and burst. With this in mind,

• Check your water supply system regularly for possible leaks, cracks, and regular wear and tear.
• Address property maintenance issues promptly, before they get out of hand.
• Winterize and insulate water pipes to minimize the likelihood of water damage from frozen and burst pipes in your home.
• Seal and caulk both air and water leaks to prevent water pipes from freezing and bursting.
• Consider adding insulation to your attic, basement, or crawlspace.

Tips to Prevent Frozen Pipes from Bursting by KW Construction & Restoration-Colorado Springs

When pipes freeze in sub-zero weather and then thaw out as temperatures rise, frozen pipes tend to crack and burst, which causes water leaks and flooding. If you discover a frozen pipe in your home, you can still prevent it from bursting and causing water damage.

• Turn off the main water supply.
• Turn and leave your water taps on.
• Remove valuables and household possessions from the area that might be exposed to water damage if the frozen pipe bursts.
• Turn on the tap closest to the frozen pipe and gradually thaw out the ice in the frozen pipe by melting it with a heat pack. Begin applying heat to the area that is closest to the tap and slowly move farther away toward the rest of the frozen pipe.
