Why Winter Water Damage Happens
Cold January temperatures can cause condensation on pipes, vents, and windows. Combined with dry indoor air, this can lead to hidden water problems that damage floors, furniture, and walls over time.
Warning Signs:
- Frost or water droplets on windows and pipes
- Musty smells in basements or closets
- Mold or mildew growth
- HVAC system drainage issues
HVAC Tips to Protect Your Home
- Maintain Proper Humidity: Use whole-home humidifiers to stabilize indoor moisture.
- Inspect Ducts and Pipes: Catch leaks or blockages early.
- Vent Moisture-Prone Areas: Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms benefit from ventilation.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance: Ensure condensers, coils, and drains are functioning.
- Monitor Crawlspaces and Basements: Prevent hidden water damage before it escalates.
