Winter Weather Water Damage in Your Cranberry Home

10/23/2023 (Permalink)

water damage from pipe burst Many homes and commercial properties experience water damage when their pipes freeze because water gets trapped in the pipe when it freezes.

Winter weather is on its way and SERVPRO of Crawford / NE Venango Counties is here to provide tips on how to avoid winter water damage. Winter water damage is a common occurrence in northeast Ohio to both homes and commercial properties. This is most likely due to snow and freezing temperatures. Many homes and commercial properties experience water damage when their pipes freeze because water gets trapped in the pipe when it freezes. As soons as the freezing temperataures begin to rise, the frozen pipes begin to thaw. Most pipes cannot handle such a swift change in temperature and will burst the moment it unthaws. This causes the water to spew forth most likely into your walls, floors, or cabinets, which can cause extensive water damage. 

Another occurrence of water damage from snow can be from snow on your roof. If snow is left on your roof for an extended period of time and gets into your gutters, problems can arise when temperature begins to rise. This is because it creates an ice dam. According to the University of Minnesota, “An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow (water) from draining off the roof. The water that backs up behind the dam can leak into a home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation and other areas.”

How to Have Safe Bonfires in the Fall Season

bonfire It is not uncommon for bonfires to get out of control, so it is important to know certain safety measures prior to holding your annual bonfire.

One of the perks of cooler weather in the Fall season is enjoying bonfires outside with friends and family. It is not uncommon for bonfires to get out of control, so it is important to know certain safety measures prior to holding your annual bonfire. John Hopkins Medicine provides good advice to have safe bonfires this season. By following these tips, you’ll save fire damage to your Cranberry, Saegertown, Linesville and surrounding areas home. Here are some tips below: 

  • Be sure you are at least 25 feet away from structures or anything else that can burn before building a fire. Choose an open, level location and clear away any dry leaves and sticks, overhanging branches and shrubs.
  • Never use gasoline, kerosene or any other flammable liquid to start a fire. Instead, use a match or lighter to ignite tinder (small twigs and dry leaves); add larger sticks and pieces of dry wood.
  • Keep the fire small and controlled, and never leave it unattended.
  • Keep a hose, a bucket of water, or a shovel and dirt or sand nearby to extinguish the fire once you’re finished. Be sure the fire is completely out before leaving the site — any remaining embers could ignite, with disastrous consequences.


In case you ever do experience fire damage, by a bonfire or another disastrous event, you can call SERVPRO of Crawford / NE Venango Counties day or night. We are available 24/7 for emergency fire disasters. Our team is trained and experienced to restore your home back to its previous condition.
