After a recent rainstorm, strong winds caused a tree branch to fall onto this home, breaking a window. There was glass as well as tree debris throughout the home. The home also had water damage from rain that was able to enter through the broken window. 

With single digit temperatures in the forecast next week, consider the following tips to help keep your pipes from freezing:

• Leave cabinet door under sink open to keep warm air circulating
• Leave water dripping slowly from faucets during extremely cold periods
• Prevent the water meter from freezing during the cold by keeping it securely covered
• Make sure your home’s thermostat is not below 55 degrees
• Insulate pipes especially for those near outside walls or in unheated areas of your home
• Shut off the water temporarily if a line breaks
• Close all air vents and other openings in the crawlspace under your home during periods of cold air

Lastly, should the unexpected happen, call SERVPRO of Southbury/Torrington to help you make it, "Like it never even happened."
