Once the temperatures begin to drop, Niagara Falls residents are at risk of having burst pipes in their homes. SERVPRO often receives calls for basement flood restoration and other issues related to frigid temps and water-related incidents. It is essential to know that your piping could be at risk of freezing even if you take the time to ensure everything is well-insulated.

- What causes pipes to burst where I might need water cleanup in Niagara Falls? Even though freezing temperatures are the leading cause, there is more to the science. Water freezes and expands, which creates pressure. This pressure builds, and it can cause the pipe to crack or burst. Once the water in the line thaws and reaches the damaged area, the only place to go is out of the tube.
- What do I do once a pipe bursts and I have water coming into my home? The best first step to take is to turn off the water supply to stop water from flowing in. Then, you need to contact SERVPRO to identify the issue and begin water removal services and drying as soon as possible.
- Can I handle the water cleanup on my own without professional assistance? Failing to remove all moisture after a water emergency opens you up to secondary damage and the onset of mold and mildew. SERVPRO arrives with IICRC-certified technicians and an arsenal of equipment like air movers, dehumidifiers, extractors, and other tools and products to get the job done right the first time.
