Have you been affected by a recent water leak? Call SERVPRO of Central Buffalo to help restore your place to preloss condition.

We all can appreciate the easy access to water in our homes. After all, we use it every day to wash our hands, prepare our meals and even give the family dog a bath at the end of the day. However, this easy access also means that water is flowing behind our walls in our pipes and appliances every day, which can lead to disaster if a single accident or malfunction occurs.

Recognizing an emerging water issue right away can help reduce your risk of serious damage, but you have to know where to look and what to do! Our team explains some easy steps to follow to contain a water leak and what to do afterwards below. 

Locating the Water Source

If you come home and notice a puddle of water where it shouldn’t be or you have standing water in your basement, stay calm and track down the source. If something is actively leaking, it can be easy to pinpoint, but it also might take some investigative work! 

Once you find it, find the appropriate water valve and shut it off, and turn off the electricity if it was caused by an appliance to make sure it can’t turn on again.

Once the source of water is contained, take a step back and assess the damage. Avoid walking through any standing water, and take some pictures of whatever damage you see. Fresh images will help make your insurance claim process easier for everyone involved. Then pick up the phone and call SERVPRO® of Central Buffalo!

In the Buffalo New York area we face extremely cold winters. We are used to fridge temperatures in the winter months and take pride in our ability to withstand what most would consider to be too cold!

But, with this cold weather comes the chance that water supply pipes can freeze and burst within your home or commercial property. This can be especially true when we have serval days and weeks in a row with below freezing temperatures.

When water supply lines freeze the ice inside expands until the pipe breaks. The water pressure behind the pipe will then dislodge the ice and water will spray or leak out uncontrolled. Many times pipes break at night when temperatures are at their coldest which then allows water to saturate the surrounding area.

We are available to respond to this type of damage 24/7. Once alerted to your problem a project manager will arrive to quickly asses the situation and being removing water from the property. The team will look to being the drying process as quickly as possible to give themselves the best chance of recovering as much of the property as possible.
