- Have you ever wondered what damage could be caused by the different seasons each year? While hurricanes and tornadoes get a lot of attention, and with good reason, something that isn't talked enough about is winter storm damage and what winter weather can do to our homes. In fact, winter can be harsh on our homes. As the temperatures drop and snow and ice build up, you can find yourself dealing with a number of issues from roof leaks to frozen pipes. Here's what to look for: Frozen pipes - As temperatures drop, pipes can freeze and burst. This can cause significant water damage inside your home. Even worse, pipes that break in areas you may not immediately notice could cause rot and mold growth. Ice dams - When snow on your roof rapidly thaws and then freezes, it can create a dam of ice along the overhang. This can eventually cause additional ice, rain, or snow to push up under the shingles where the water is able to then leak into your home through the roof or exterior walls. Because every ice dam is unique to your roof and the environmental conditions that created it, you can have ice dams that create slow leaks, fast leaks, affect one room in your home or several, and everything in between. Wind & Hail Damage - Winter storm systems can result in heavy winds and hail, which can cause siding and roof damage. The most common sign of wind and hail damage is broken or missing siding or shingles, but you may also find damage to windows, soffit, or personal property. Fallen trees - Trees and tree branches can break or fall under the weight of snow and ice and could damage your home or personal property. It's always recommended to inspect trees each year and trim any dead or weak branches that may be an issue. Would you like to take control of your future and build a business you can be proud of?
