Fire Safety Essentials

Did you know that nearly half of all residential fires start in the kitchen? Cooking accidents, heating appliances, and electrical malfunctions are the top culprits. But when a fire sparks, spraying water isn’t always the safest solution. In fact, using water on an electrical fire can have dangerous consequences.

That’s why every home should be equipped with a Class ABC fire extinguisher. This type of extinguisher is versatile, capable of handling fires involving solid materials, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment. Make sure you have one under your kitchen sink, in the laundry room, and in the garage to ensure you’re prepared for any emergency.

If a fire does occur, SERVPRO Team Majeski is Here to Help® you restore your home to its original state. Contact us today at 732-578-9888.

Thawing the Freeze: A Guide to Preventing and Dealing with Frozen Pipes

Meet the winter challenge head-on by safeguarding your property against frozen pipes and the potential damage they bring. As temperatures plummet, homes and businesses face the risk of leaks, flooding, and even mold. To ensure your water pipes stay functional and your property remains safe, here's a comprehensive guide:

Frozen Pipes: What You Should Know

Understanding the causes is the first step in prevention. Sudden temperature drops, poor insulation, and low thermostat settings contribute to frozen pipes. The vulnerability increases in pipes running alongside exterior walls, exposed to the elements, and those in unheated spaces.

Tips to Prevent Pipes from Freezing

• Disconnect outside garden hoses and secure outdoor valves.
• Ensure your basement is heated, cover crawl space air vents, and close windows near water pipes.
• Let faucets drip slightly overnight, especially those on outside walls.
• Insulate exposed pipes and use heating tape or pipe insulation.
• Keep cabinets open to let heat reach plumbing, and install weather sealing around windows.
• Regularly check and insulate pipes in unheated areas, like garages.
• Never use antifreeze unless directed, as it can be hazardous.

Can You Thaw Frozen Pipes?

Discovering frozen pipes doesn't have to be a nightmare. Follow these steps:

• Shut off the water supply via the main valve.
• Open a faucet to encourage thawing, and apply heat using an electric heating pad, space heater, or hot towels.
• Never use open flames or kerosene for thawing.
• If in doubt or unable to thaw, call a licensed plumber.

Winter Vacation Tip: Check Your Pipes Before Heading Out

If you're escaping the cold for warmer climes, protect your home:

• Shut off water supply and consider draining the system.
• Keep the thermostat no lower than 55º Fahrenheit (12º Celsius).
• Ask a friend or neighbor to check your house regularly.

As the summer season gradually comes to a close, it becomes imperative to prepare your home for the upcoming cooler months. Take a moment to review this comprehensive end-of-summer maintenance checklist to ensure that your property remains in optimal condition:

• Service HVAC System: Schedule a professional inspection and maintenance for your HVAC system to guarantee its top performance in the upcoming seasons.

• Trim Trees and Bushes: Cut back overgrown vegetation to mitigate potential hazards during storms.

• Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Ensure the functionality of these life-saving devices.

• Clean Outdoor Furniture: Wipe down and store your outdoor furniture to shield it from harsh weather conditions.

• Inspect Roof and Chimney: Address any necessary repairs before winter's arrival to avoid further damage.

• Drain and Store Hoses: Prevent freezing by disconnecting hoses and storing them indoors.

• Clean and Store Grill: Give your grill a thorough cleaning and store it properly for the off-season.

• Schedule a Fall Maintenance Inspection: Stay ahead of potential issues by arranging a professional inspection.
