RestoPros of Greater Columbus, a professional restoration company serving central Ohio, emphasizes the importance of winter property preparedness as the region enters its peak frozen pipe season. With temperatures expected to fluctuate dramatically in the coming months, the company reminds property owners that frozen pipes remain one of the most common causes of water damage in residential and commercial buildings throughout the winter season.
Frozen pipes affect thousands of Ohio properties each year, often resulting in extensive water damage when pipes burst and thaw. The Insurance Information Institute reports that water damage and freezing account for nearly 20 percent of all homeowners' insurance claims, with an average claim exceeding $11,000. These incidents typically spike during January and February when temperatures regularly drop below freezing across central Ohio.
"Winter weather creates unique challenges for property owners, and frozen pipes can cause catastrophic damage in a matter of hours," said Caleb Krites, Owner of RestoPros of Greater Columbus. "While prevention is always the best approach, having a trusted restoration partner ready to respond immediately when disasters strike can mean the difference between minor repairs and major reconstruction. Our team sees firsthand how quickly water from burst pipes can compromise structural integrity, which is why we maintain 24/7 emergency response capabilities throughout the winter months."
The restoration columbus experts note that pipes in unheated areas such as basements, crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls face the highest risk of freezing. Commercial properties with less frequent occupancy during the winter months also experience increased vulnerability to frozen pipe incidents. When pipes burst, water can damage flooring, walls, insulation, and personal property while creating conditions conducive to mold growth if not addressed promptly.
RestoPros of Greater Columbus maintains round-the-clock emergency response teams equipped to handle water damage incidents of any scale. The company's certified technicians follow Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification guidelines to ensure proper water extraction, drying, and restoration procedures. Beyond immediate water removal, the company provides comprehensive restoration services, including structural drying, mold remediation, and complete rebuild services when necessary.
The company's 30 years of combined industry experience has positioned them as a trusted resource for property restoration throughout central Ohio. Their comprehensive approach addresses not only immediate water damage but also secondary concerns such as mold growth and structural compromise that can develop if water damage is not properly remediated.
Based in Granville, Ohio, RestoPros of Greater Columbus serves residential and commercial clients throughout the greater Columbus area with water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, storm damage restoration, and complete rebuild services.
