New Year, New Pipes

Many New Englander revelers rang in the new year with frozen pipe burst putting a damper on their celebrations.  

According to the National Weather Service in Taunton, Boston has broken a nearly 100-year-old record for lowest high temperature on Dec. 28 2017.  The record, set in 1924, was 18 degrees. Thursday’s lowest high temperature was 12 degrees — 6 degrees lower than the previous record.  And to add insult to injury the cold spell lasted the remainder of the week. 

Water freezing and expanding within the pipes turns these heavy duty metal cylinders into malleable material.

Town Water Main Break Wreaks Havoc

A town's water main break resulted in flooding two townhomes' basements.  A water main is an underground pipe that delivers water to the customer's service pipe. In residential areas it usually runs under the street. If a hole or crack develops in the pipe, the water will typically find its way to the surface. Because the water main is under pressure, water will continue to flow until the break is repaired.  Arctic weather temps can also be to blame for water main breaks. As the fridge air temps cause rapid winter freeze-thaw cycle of the ground surrounding the pipes is what causes mains to flex and, in some cases, break apart.

Always Replace Fire Extinguishers

The fire extinguisher powder may have caused quite the mess, but it did save this property owner potential devastation from a small kitchen fire. 

If you get any of the extinguishant on delicate items, such as artwork, electronics, or cooking equipment, SERVPRO of Framingham will have these items professionally cleaned so you don’t damage them with conventional cleaning methods.

In addition, even if you only discharged a little of the fire extinguisher, the cylinder still needs to be replaced or refilled. If you don’t, it won’t be able to help protect your home if another fire breaks out. Call a local, licensed fire protection company to ensure that all of your fire protection systems (from the sprinkler to the individual extinguishers) are still ready to protect your life and property in the next disaster. 

Mold Discovery in Garage is Quite Common

Mold in the garage is a pretty common problem. While homes usually have good ventilation to help prevent mold growth, garages are another matter. In addition to poor ventilation, simply driving a car into the garage in rainy or snowy weather tracks in a lot of water that can lead to mold growth. Mold can be found in many places in garages, though, not only on the floors or walls. Boxes of stored belongings and stacks of magazines or newspapers can get moldy. Camping equipment or summer supplies may get moldy, especially if put away damp.

Luckily this homeowner in Holliston discovered mold on their garage floor, right away and SERVPRO of Framingham was able to remediate the situation in a timely manner.
