For locations subject to severe weather or where water infiltration is a concern, wind-driven rain louvers are an easy choice. Learn what makes these louvers stand out from other louver types.

Cold weather can put your home or business at risk for…. Electrical Panel Overloads -  Using multiple plug-in outlets at a time can quickly become a fire hazard for any home or business. Keep usage limited on each outlet. Leaky Roofs -  Water condensation buildup can create ice dams in your roof causing them to expand and contract when they thaw and freeze. This can create unwanted openings that will allow water to enter through the roof of your property. Frozen and Burst Pipes -  A common risk property owners can face in the fall and winter months is the freezing of pipes. When temperatures drop below freezing, it can pose a hazard for pipes to freeze and then burst causing significant water damage. Keep water dripping when temperatures reach below freezing.

4 Ways Winter Weather Can Affect Your Residential Water Main As winter approaches, homeowners should be aware of the potential impact cold weather can have on their residential water main. Extreme temperatures can lead to various issues, potentially causing significant damage if not addressed promptly. Here are four potential hazards: 1. Freezing Temperatures: Cold weather can cause water in the main to freeze, leading to burst pipes and water damage. Pay attention to temperatures and be certain your water main has been inspected. 2. Increased Pressure: Frozen water expands, increasing pressure within the pipes and leading to potential leaks or bursts. 3. Soil Shifting: The ground can shift during freeze-thaw cycles, placing additional stress on water mains and causing cracks or breaks. 4. Accessibility Issues: Snow and ice can make it difficult to access and repair water mains, leading to prolonged issues and potential water outages. To prevent these problems, regular maintenance and inspections are essential.

Is water damage lurking undetected in your home? To many homeowners' surprise, it’s not only major floods or leaks that can lead to costly damage. One of the most overlooked causes is HVAC drainage issues. When air conditioners run, moisture is constantly being extracted from the air and needs to be disposed of properly. Over time, even minor misalignments or blockages can result in gradual buildup leading to hidden yet substantial damage. It's worth asking the question - is your HVAC system silently contributing a water problem in your home? This is a common question many homeowners might not even know to ask. But with water mitigation experts like Koch Restoration Services on hand, you can uncover possible hidden issues before they turn into costly repairs or even structural dangers. We invite you to think about the health of your home.
