Unexpected Damages from Severe Winter Weather

• Pipe bursts 
• Ice damming buildup
• Attic flood damage

Steps to Avoid Pipe Freezing 

Frozen pipes can be costly damages to your home if a rupture or break occurs. Avoiding this outcome often means thawing the pipes with a hairdryer if these conditions exist and insulating/surrounding pipes with warm air if freezing has not yet started.

Can Roof Damage Be Prevented?

It is possible to avoid the ice damming on the roof. In many cases, homeowners have installed heated cables on the eaves to make ice formation impossible. Others have ensured that the insulation in the attic against the roof is sufficient and without gaps.
