We restore storm damage 24/7 in Macomb County.

Winter is coming and our Mount Clemens and New Baltimore teams want everyone to be prepared for power outages caused by winter storms. Winter storms can bring severe weather conditions, including ice, snow, and high winds, leading to power outages. Preparing ahead of time is essential to stay safe and comfortable during these disruptions.

Start by assembling a winter storm preparedness kit. This should include flashlights, extra batteries, blankets, non-perishable food, bottled water, and a manual can opener. Additionally, keep a supply of any necessary medications and a first aid kit. If you rely on electric medical devices, have backup power sources or alternative plans.

It's also essential to protect your home from freezing temperatures. Insulate pipes to prevent them from freezing and bursting, and have your heating system checked before winter storms arrive. Stock up on firewood if you have a fireplace, or ensure space heaters are working correctly and safely.

If you have a portable generator, never use it indoors as this will cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure your family knows how to manually open the garage door in case the power goes out.
