Sheridan weather doesn’t do gradual.

One week pipes are at risk of freezing.

The next, snow is melting fast and water is pooling against foundations.

Those big temperature swings are one of the leading causes of water damage we see. Ice melts, soil saturates, window wells fill, and water finds every crack in older foundations and basement walls.

What happens next

• Water seeps into basements and crawl spaces
• Drywall and insulation stay wet longer than you think
• Mold can begin growing in 24–48 hours
• Floors buckle and odors develop before you notice a puddle

What Sheridan homeowners should check after a warm-up

• Basement walls and floors for damp spots or musty smell
• Window wells and downspouts — are they clear and directing water away?
• Hose bibs and exterior pipes that may have split during the freeze
• Carpet edges and baseboards in lower levels

Do not just run a fan and hope. Hidden moisture is what turns a small leak into a mold job.

Newman Restoration responds 24/7 in Sheridan. We extract standing water, set professional drying equipment, measure moisture in walls and floors, and don’t leave until the structure is dry — not just looking dry.

If you’ve had a sudden thaw, a burst pipe, or unexplained dampness, call us before mold takes hold.
