Are your Client’s Properties Ready for Freezing Temperatures?
As we all know, water expands as it freezes, putting an extreme amount of pressure on whatever is containing it, including metal or plastic pipes. If your clients have properties located in areas where subzero temperatures often hit, they’ll know that dealing with frozen pipes is a messy and often expensive issue!
Pipes that are the most susceptible to freezing include, but are not limited to water sprinkler lines, water supply pipes in unheated/non-insulated rooms, etc. It is important for your property manager clients to have the proper tools to ensure they know how to deal with the harsh effects of freezing temperatures.

This checklist gives preventative measures for frozen pipes as well as what to do if a pipe actually does freeze or burst!
Is your client’s building located in an area that is prone to freezing temperatures? Making sure your clients have the information needed to take the proper preventative measures to ensure their pipes do not freeze is a helpful way to reduce the risk of property damage and potential claims.
Okay, now that all the holiday décor is unpacked and in full force, it may be time to remind condominium dwellers to take a step back and make sure that their decorations are compliant with any holiday décor policies their condo or coop may have.
Thanksgiving, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, is a wonderful time of the year. (Christmas may try and say otherwise.) It doesn’t get better than expressing gratitude and appreciation for all we have in our lives, getting together with friends and family, and stuffing ourselves with good food and drinks.
There’s always something to be thankful for, and with grateful hearts we give thanks for every single strand of the New Empire Insurance Services web, the intricate circle that has – and will – always be built on the premise and strength of family.
