Tips for Preventing Fires During the Winter
11/8/2024 (Permalink)
The damage to the townhome is due to a residential fire.
Did you know that home fires occur more during the winter than in any other season? Here are some tips for preventing damage to your home:
- Keep any flammable materials and items at least three feet away from all heat sources, like space heaters, fireplaces, radiators, stoves, candles, etc.
- Place space heaters on a level, hard, and nonflammable surface and only plug one appliance into an electrical outlet at a time. Keep dust, dirt, and any other debris clear from heaters.
- Turning off and putting out all heat sources like candles, space heaters, fireplaces, and stoves, before leaving your home is the most preventable cause of fire.
- Never disable a smoke or carbon dioxide alarm and double check that all alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button to ensure that they are functioning properly and will alert you in case of an emergency. Disabling them or neglecting to test them can leave you unaware of a potential fire or gas leak.
- Chimneys and heating systems should be cleaned and inspected annually. Soot and debris can accumulate, creating a fire hazard. Scheduling an annual cleaning and inspection by a professional can help prevent blockages and overheating, reducing the risk of a fire starting in these areas.
- Remove clutter from home, ensuring doorways, hallways, and windows are accessible.

Winter is here! Are YOU ready?
SERVPRO of Cheyenne for when winter weather hits.
Winter is here and freezing temperatures have arrived. Cold weather, winter storms, snow, chilling winds, and ice storms can cause massive damage to your home and/or business. The moment this happens, immediate action is the key to prevent additional or graver damage to your property.
Top causes of winter storm damages:
- Roof Failure: This can be caused by snow and ice. The weight of snow or ice can fluctuate based on humidity levels, type of snow and ice, and time (how long the snow and ice stay on the roof).
- Frozen Pipes: Freezing temperatures can cause the pipes to freeze and once those temperatures warm-up, pipes can burst and cause water damage.
- House Fires: Maintenance of furnaces, heaters, dryers, and fireplaces are extremely important. As well as proper use of space heaters and extension cords.
If you experience any of these things. Call us, SERVPRO of Cheyenne has the experts, the experience, and the resources to help!
Let us make your worse moment “Like it never even happened.”

Ways to prevent frozen pipes this winter:
11/16/2021 (Permalink)
Say no to frozen pipes this winter.
The winters here in Cheyenne Wyoming are no joke. What comes to mind when you think of winter in Cheyenne? In Cheyenne, the winter is all about snowflakes, hot cocoa, white fluffy snow, fireplace, freezing winds, and sledding. It is all fun and games until you walk into your home, and you find out that your pipes have frozen.
Here are a few tips from the Red Cross to help avoid frozen pipes:
- Keep the garage door closed, especially if you have water supply lines in the garage.
- Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow for warmer air to circulate.
- If it gets VERY cold outside, allow some cold water to drip from the indoor faucets. A little running water can prevent pipes from freezing
- Keep your thermostat set to the same temperature during the day and night.
- If you are going to be away for the winter keep your thermostat running never lower than 55° F.
If your pipes do freeze over, here are a few tips on how to thaw them:
- If you turn on a faucet and only a little bit of water comes out, suspect a frozen pipe.
- Keep the faucet open. As you thaw the frozen pipes, keeping the faucet open will help melt the ice in the pipe.
- Using an electric heating pad wrapped around the pipe to help. You can also use an electric hair dryer, portable space heater or by wrapping your pipes with towels soaked in hot water. DO NOT use: kerosene, propane heater, blowtorch, charcoal stove, or any open flame devices.
- Check to make sure other pipes are not frozen. If one pipe freezes, there is a high chance others did too.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call at (307)514-9011.
SERVPRO of Cheyenne is here to help 24 hours/7 days a week.

- Be careful with electric space heaters - please make sure that you have enough room around your space heater.
- Never burn wood in a gas-only fireplace - gas-only fireplaces are not equipped to handle wood burning.
- Have your furnace and fireplace serviced every year - Please make use that your furnace and fireplace are ready to be used by a professional.

Please keep the storm drain clear of debris.
The fall season is one of the most colorful and breathtaking season of the year. With all of these beautiful colors comes the leaves. One of the top causes of storm drain clogs is from natural debris, such as: branches, twigs, dirt, rocks and, of course, leaves. Also, sadly, there are other type of debris that clog our storm drains with our winds and due to living in the city, such as: plastic bags, plastic bottles, food, cardboard containers, aluminum cans, and fast-food containers.
Here are a few things that you can do to prevent clogged storm drains:
- Regularly monitor neighborhood storm drains for debris.
- Do not blow or sweep leaves into the ditches, storm drains, or roads.
- If a drain is clogged use a shovel or rake to remove the debris.
- Remember to always wear reflective clothing and gloves for safety.
- Makes sure to only clean the drains you can reach, avoid busy areas.
- If the drain is still clogged, please report is to: https://www.cheyennecity.org/Your-Government/Departments/Public-Works or call 307-637-6263.
