Episode Details

PuroClean of Wakefield, a locally owned restoration company serving Middlesex and Essex Counties in Massachusetts, is marking its tenth year in business while urging area homeowners to winterize now before the region's first hard freeze drives a seasonal spike in burst pipe and heating-related property damage claims. Owner Frank Greenwood shares a six-step prevention checklist covering hose disconnection, pipe insulation, heating system inspections, gutter cleaning, shut-off valve awareness, and detector testing all aimed at helping homeowners avoid the emergency restoration calls that define every Massachusetts winter. Takeaways: - The window between first frost and first hard freeze is peak season for preventable water and fire damage claims across Middlesex and Essex County and most homeowners are not yet winterized when it hits. - Disconnecting outdoor hoses and insulating exposed pipes in unheated spaces are two of the simplest and most overlooked steps a homeowner can take before temperatures drop below freezing. - A significant share of fall and winter house fires are linked to improperly maintained heating equipment and chimneys a professional inspection before the season starts is one of the highest-value prevention investments a homeowner can make. - Knowing where your main water shut-off valve is located before a pipe bursts is the single fastest way to limit damage in the critical first minutes of a water emergency.
