Flooding Can Occur During Winter in Your Canton, Ohio Home
2/3/2022 (Permalink)
The ground hog saw his shadow, so we have 6 more weeks of winter. We will probably experience some more cold weather and snow accumulation. Just remember that SERVPRO of Northwest Stark County is available if your property suffers damage due to the cold weather.
When we experience frigid temperatures for long periods of time, water supply pipes that are not well insulated can freeze and burst. If left unnoticed the damage to the home can be catastrophic even requiring homeowners to move out temporarily while extensive repairs are completed.
Another type of damage from winter weather can come from ice dams. An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms along the edge of your roof. The problem is, these ice dams can force water up under your roof's shingles. And this may cause water to leak into your attic, ceiling or wall, soaking your insulation, drywall and paint. Ice dams can also damage your roof and gutters. If you see large icicles hanging from one particular area of your home this may indicate an ice dam.
