Freezing temperatures have officially arrived in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas. These weather conditions bring more than just snow and chilly mornings, it also brings risks of water damage that can catch homeowners off guard if you aren’t fully prepared. To ensure your home is protected from water damage this winter, be sure to take the below steps.
- Insulate Exposed Pipes
- Ensure outdoor spigots and exposed pipes are covered.
- Keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Turn faucets that are on exteriors walls to a drip.
- Keep an eye on pipes that may be in unheated areas like basements, crawlspaces, garages, and attics.
- Ensure Gutters and Downspouts are Clear

Client Testimonial
“5 stars isn’t enough for Michaelis Corp! I give them 10 stars and would highly recommend them for any disastrous situation like I encountered. I had a pinhole leak in the waterline to my refrigerator that led me on the hunt for assessments due to drywall and electrical damage. I had six quotes for remediation and rebuilding one side of my kitchen. Some were outrageous and some were simply not interested in competing. Towards the end, a friend suggested I call Michaelis Corporation because he had met them while out dining one evening. They were the last on my list, but I immediately felt comfortable with Scott, the assessor. My situation was complicated because I had major surgery already scheduled which was going to have to come in between the remediation and the rebuild. The remediation went as scheduled, and they gave me several weeks for recovery before starting the rebuild. I was always kept up to date on scheduling and the job was always cleaned up after every visit. I was devastated when this happened, and I needed a company I could trust and work with me during my surgery. I’ve had my share of bad contractors so that added to the stress. But Scott, Keith and Cody were always a text away and very flexible with my surgery/recovery. Ulysses is a true artisan when it comes to fixing anything. My kitchen looks as if nothing ever happened! I have already recommended them to another friend who needs help! Photos show damage, remediation and rebuild.“
