Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures bring potential winter water damage.
Prevent issues by taking steps now.
Causes of winter water damage:
Freezing Pipes
Water that freezes in pipes causes expansion and breakage. You’ll have flooding when the temperatures rise.
Ice Dams
Warm air from the roof causes snow to melt. When the melt re-freezes, ice dams block drainage, causing leaks and structural damage.
Snow and Ice Accumulation
Heavy snow stresses roofs. Melting snow can pool and result in leaks.
Moisture Control Issues
Indoor humidity and condensation lead to mold growth
and/or structural problems.
Prevention Recommendations
Wrap your Pipes
Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing.
Keep Gutters Clean
Clear debris from gutters and downspouts to allow for drainage.
Maintain Indoor Heat
Keep the home warm, especially near plumbing.
Inspect the Roof
Maintain areas prone to ice build-up. Address leaks.
Control Indoor Humidity
Use de-humidifiers to reduce indoor moisture.
