1/15/2025 (Permalink)

Icicles on Roof Icicles on a roof can cause storm damage by leading to ice dams, which block water drainage and result in leaks, roof damage, and structural issues.

Winter in Ohio brings a unique set of challenges, from freezing temperatures to heavy snowfalls. As beautiful as the season can be, it also poses significant risks to your property. Pipe bursts, flooding, and ice dams are common issues that can lead to severe damage.

Common Cold Weather Issues and How We Can Help

Pipe Bursts: Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to burst, leading to extensive water damage. Our team quickly extracts water, dries the affected areas, and repairs any structural damage to prevent further issues.

Flooding: Melting snow and ice can lead to flooding in basements and other parts of your property. We provide thorough water removal, drying, and dehumidification services to mitigate damage and prevent mold growth.

Ice Dams: Ice dams form when snow on the roof melts and refreezes at the eaves, causing water to back up under the shingles. This can lead to leaks and interior water damage. We offer ice dam removal, roof repair, and water damage restoration to protect your home or business.

Tips to Prevent Winter Damage

  1. Insulate Pipes:

    • Use pipe insulation to protect pipes in unheated areas.

  2. Maintain Your Roof:

    • Keep gutters clean and ensure proper attic insulation to prevent ice dams.

  3. Monitor Your Heating System:

    • Regular maintenance can help prevent furnace malfunctions and frozen pipes.

  4. Seal Cracks and Openings:

    • Seal gaps in windows and doors to keep cold air out and warm air in.
