SERVPRO® of Mount Clemens, New Baltimore witnesses the damage water can do to a home during the winter. Here are some tips from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety for minimizing water damage to your home after a winter weather event.

Check for damage inside your home

• Watch for signs of snow load damage, such as creaking sounds, a sagging roof, cracks in the ceiling or walls, water stains, and doors or windows that no longer open and close correctly
• If the water isn’t flowing, you may have frozen pipes. If you suspect frozen pipes, shut off the water supply and call a plumber to make repairs.

Assess any downed trees or large limbs

• If it’s on your driveway or property, call a tree care professional
• If it’s on a road or sidewalk, contact your municipal public works department
• If a utility line is damaged or may become damaged, call the utility company. Stay away from any downed power lines.

If you find significant damage to your home

• Safety first
• Document any losses
• Contact your insurance agent
• If it’s safe to do so, remove property from the damaged area
• Keep all receipts and documentation. Consider creating an electronic file for this information in a cloud storage account so you can access it from anywhere.
