December in Nebraska means cold temperatures, snow, and festive gatherings — but it also brings unique risks for property damage. At All Care Restorations, we see an increase in water damage and fire emergencies during this month. Taking a few precautions now can save you headaches and expensive repairs.
🔥 Holiday Fire Prevention
With holiday lights, candles, and heaters in use, fire risk spikes in December.
- Keep candles away from curtains and decorations.
- Use UL-listed lights and avoid overloading circuits.
- Have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors on every floor.
- Never leave space heaters unattended.
💧 Hidden Water Damage from Frozen Pipes
Winter freezes can cause pipes to crack or burst, leading to hidden leaks behind walls or under floors. Watch for:
- Unexplained drops in water pressure
- Damp spots or stains on ceilings and walls
- Musty odors signaling mold growth
❄️ Snow and Ice Damage
Heavy snow buildup can strain roofs and gutters, leading to leaks or collapse. Ice dams form when heat escapes through poorly insulated attics, melting snow and refreezing at eaves. This traps water that can leak inside your home or business.
