Silver Lining Property Restoration, a property restoration company based in New Berlin, is urging homeowners and business owners in southeastern Wisconsin to take precautions now to prevent frozen pipes during the upcoming winter. Frozen pipes have been a common occurrence with the onset of winter, often leading to significant water damage when they burst.
The company provides professional water damage restoration services for residential and commercial properties. More information about those services can be found at https://silverliningpr.com/services/water-restoration/.
Frozen pipes often occur without warning. When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands and puts pressure against the walls of the pipe. The amount of pressure may result in a break. When this happens, water may flood from the pipe as the ice thaws. Damage is not limited to pipes; walls, floors, insulation, and personal property may be damaged.
Simple steps can protect property from winter damage. Property owners should insulate exposed pipes, seal any gaps where cold air gets inside, and keep the heat on even when the building is empty. Basements, utility rooms, crawl spaces, and pipes near outside walls freeze the fastest.

Freezing and thawing cycles in southeastern Wisconsin can potentially increase added stress against plumbing throughout the year. Early preparations can help avoid unexpected events in winter, when property owners are most vulnerable.
Freezing of pipes can still occur even with proper preparation, particularly during inclement weather or a power outage. In such events, it becomes critical to react immediately. Silver Lining Property Restoration is available to take quick action to restore properties damaged by water.
