It’s common for homeowners to want to turn their heat down very low when they leave for long periods of time, like a family vacation or work trip. Although turning down your heat can save money initially, you may be spending more than you save in the long run. When you turn you turn your heat down too low, your pipes could freeze in your home. When pipes freeze, they can burst and cause flooding in your home. Please stay safe this cold winter season by taking these tips to avoid frozen pipes from ServiceMaster Complete Restoration by Stiffey’s water damage restoration team.

Hoses are the first thing that could freeze, especially with the cold temperatures we’ve had lately. Store hoses in a warm place during the winter, and definitely don’t leave them connected to outdoor spigots. If your garage is near the water supply lines, keep the garage doors closed as much as possible to avoid water damage.

Run water every now and then through the pipes just to make sure everything is still in sync. Running water also prevents freezing. And again, if you have to leave the house or go on a trip for any reason, leave the heat on. Don’t set the heat to a temperature lower than 55 degrees.

If your pipes freeze or burst, don’t panic. Our water damage removal team will communicate with you through every step of the process. We have a convenient 24/7/365 emergency helpline to give you guidance on what you need when you suspect freezing or bursting pipes in your home. If needed, our water damage removal team will come to you to inspect the damages and assess the best way to move forward. From there, we can perform water mitigation, dehumidification, flood damage restoration and more.

Our biggest piece of advice to you would be to keep your home warm enough at all times so your pipes don’t freeze. Freezing and bursting pipes can ruin a perfectly good trip or vacation. Follow these and other tips on our website for water damage and water removal tips for your Pittsburgh home.

Cold temperatures are sweeping the nation. January is the coldest month of the year, and it seems to be especially cold lately. To get the most heat, homeowners around the country are turning to their fireplaces. We imagine the last thing homeowners want to come home to is fire trucks and billowing smoke. We always hope it doesn’t come to this, but if it does, call Service Master Complete Restoration for Stiffey for fire restoration in Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas.

Follow these tips for fire safety in your home when it comes to fireplaces:

• If at all possible, installing a gas fireplace in your home is much safer than a wood-burning fireplace.
• If you have a wood-burning fireplace, keep flammable materials away from the area.
• Never use chemicals or fuels to start fires, and burn items like paper in small amounts.
• Be careful when selecting firewood. Avoid wet or chemically treated wood, both which can cause problems.
• Always make sure the fire is completely out before you go to bed or leave the house. Leaving a fire unsupervised can lead to fire damage in your home.

Fire can cause damage to your walls, floors, furniture, and more, even after the flames have been extinguished. Smoke can fill your home, making it unsafe to be around.

Can you believe it’s already December? Christmas tunes are playing on the radio, encouraging people to get into the holiday spirit. One of the first steps many homeowners will take is decorating their home, but many forget safety when doing so. Remember these tips when decorating for the holidays to avoid fire damage in your Greensburg, PA home:

Trees. Real trees can be a fire hazard, but artificial trees are usually fire resistant. Make sure your tree is away from fireplaces and heat sources, and take good care of your tree over the winter season. If you have a real tree, check it often and ensure it has plenty of water.

Lights. Check all lights for cracked insulation or loose wires while decorating, and get rid of damaged strings. Always remember to turn off the lights on trees and other decorations before you go to bed or leave the house. Lights left on for extended periods of time increase the chances of fire damage.

Candles. Keep candles away from the tree, paper, and other flammable decorations. Candles should always be extinguished before you leave the house or go to bed.

The holidays are, unfortunately, a common time for fires. From trees to lights to candles, fire damage and smoke damage can happen in the blink of an eye. Our 24/7 emergency hotline will help you begin the process of fire damage restoration.

ServiceMaster by Stiffey provides water damage restoration for homeowners with burst pipes in Pittsburgh.

What’s worse than a cold house? A flooded one! Pittsburgh homeowners should be aware of potential water damage this winter. The water damage team from ServiceMaster Complete Restoration by Stiffey offers tips for preparing your pipes for winter and avoiding water damage restoration.

Homeowners need to be aware of the damages cold winter weather can inflict upon their homes; not just outside, but also inside. When water freezes, it expands.

Even if you’re gone for a few hours, your pipes can start to freeze. Disconnect your garden hoses and store them in a safe place for the season. Lastly, don’t forget to turn off external water systems if you have them.

If you experience a frozen pipe that bursts, turn off your water as soon as you can. Calling our 24/7/365 emergency hotline will assure you quick service. Our professional and dedicated water damage restoration team will assess the water damage, find the best way to move forward, and work quickly and efficiently to get your home back to normal as soon as possible.
