Prevent Frozen Pipes

Frozen pipes are not uncommon in our area, and if you are away when your pipes burst you could return to find extensive water damage to your home. ICON Property Rescue can make sure your home is fully protected from water damage by shutting off the water main, opening faucets, and draining toilets.

Properly insulating pipes and exterior walls can also help to prevent freezing. We can check any exposed pipes and make sure they are insulated. It’s important to keep your property heated to about 55 degrees to keeps pipes from freezing.

Fire Prevention

The risk of a devastating fire increases when you are away. Furnace malfunctions, gas leaks, electrical shorts, and more can all result in a fire. It is always best to turn off the gas line when possible, or if you have a gas furnace to at least turn off the gas to appliances.

You should also unplug everything, within reason, depending on the duration of your vacancy. Electrical shorts and electrical surges can result in an electrical fire, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and do everything you can to prevent a fire.
