T-30 Days until Average First Frost in Guilford County

Just add more water to it and see if you can get it to melt.

You may be looking outside at the sweltering heat, the brutal sun bearing down on the great outdoors with a fury, and believing it will never be cold again. However, we are fairly confident that’s not the case. In fact, the average first frost in Guilford County hits us in just about a month. October 28th is usually when the frost hits our lovely county, with a standard deviation of ten days, meaning it could be even sooner! (or later)

What does that mean for you? Well, if you’re a farmer, time is ticking on when you can still plant and harvest. But if you were a farmer, you’d already know that. What it really means is we are rapidly approaching the time where pipes can freeze and rupture, soaking your home or business in a dastardly deluge that will leave you thinking the worst: “Will I ever repair this water damage? How do you fix water damage?”

Never fear, future customer—SERVPRO of Greensboro North is here to help! The first thing you should do is call us at (336) 379-1772 and give us the bad news. Don’t worry—we can handle it! Then, make sure whatever pipe is spewing water all over your priceless heirlooms is turned off. Lastly, get to work pulling furniture, books, and other fragile items away from the water—but only if you’re certain the standing water isn’t going to be an electrical hazard. Once you’ve done all you can, try to relax. We’ll be there soon to save the day and make it "Like it never even happened."®
