As winter weather has made its way across much of the U.S., we wanted to share 4️⃣ risk management strategies that can help prevent a pipe freeze event 🧊 A frozen pipe can cause serious problems and lead to a costly property damage claim or even a business interruption claim. When pipes get too cold, the water inside can freeze, expand, and then burst resulting in potentially catastrophic damage such as flooding, ceiling collapse, plumbing problems, and mold issues. Keeping the building at or above 65 degrees is the best way to prevent freezing pipes, however, we wanted to share four additional strategies from our risk management team that can save your clients this winter. Find more winter weather tips in our article here: https://lnkd.in/gnesQwQK.
