As winter approaches, it’s time to prepare your home for the challenges that come with the colder months. At Leading Edge Restoration, we know firsthand how damaging freezing temperatures, snow, and ice can be to a home. Let’s explore essential winterization tips and how our services can help protect your property all season long.
1. Insulate Your Crawlspace: Keep the Cold Out
Your crawlspace is more than just an empty space—it’s a critical part of your home’s health. Poor insulation can lead to freezing pipes, higher energy bills, and long-term structural issues.
Our crawlspace services include:
Rigid Foam or Spray Foam Insulation: Superior protection for your home’s foundation walls.
Vapor Barriers: Prevent moisture buildup that can lead to mold and rot.
Drainage Solutions: Redirect water away from your home, keeping it dry and secure.
Proper crawlspace insulation not only helps prevent frozen pipes but also enhances your home’s energy efficiency.
2. Check Your Plumbing and Sump Pump
A burst pipe can cause significant water damage in the blink of an eye. Prevent such disasters by:
Inspecting your pipes for cracks or wear.
Ensuring your sump pump is functioning correctly before the heavy rains or melting snow arrive.
If water damage does occur, Leading Edge Restoration provides expert water loss mitigation, including water extraction, drying, and cleanup.
3. Gutter and Drain Maintenance
Clogged gutters and drains can lead to ice dams and water intrusion, which spell trouble for your roof and walls. Make sure your gutters are free of debris and properly directing water away from your home.
Our drainage services, including French drains and downspout connections, are designed to prevent water from pooling near your foundation.
4. Stay Ahead of Mold Growth
Winter is prime time for mold to take hold in damp, enclosed spaces. Keep an eye on humidity levels in your home and address any leaks or condensation promptly.
If mold does develop, our professional mold remediation services ensure it’s safely removed and your home is restored to a healthy state.
