We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Macomb County.

Our local team in Northeast Macomb Township restores water damage 24-hours a day in New Haven. Our fast emergency response time saves our customers time and money because water is invasive, and the longer it remains unmitigated, the greater the chances of secondary damage.

During the winter, frozen pipes are a common cause of property damage. Here are some of the indications of frozen pipes:

• Visible signs of frost on pipes
• Burst pipes
• Gurgling sounds and banging sounds may indicate ice traveling through your pipes
• No water coming out of the faucet, or slow or uneven water supply
• Mildew smells
• Taps slow to a trickle
• Water on walls
• Odors in pipes
• Freezing temperatures

One of the best ways to prevent pipes from freezing is to prevent drafts from coming into the structure. Even a small gap can cause enough of a change in temperature to compromise the water supply in your home. Here are some things you can do to prevent cold air from entering your home:

• Insulate the crawl space underneath your home
• Install a basement waterproofing system

By preventing cold air from entering the home, you will be protecting your pipes from cold winter drafts, improving the energy efficiency in your home, and helping protect your home from flooding and extreme weather.
