Heavy Snow Causes Roof Damage to Home in Macomb Township?

1/9/2024 (Permalink)

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team mitigates and restores storm damage throughout the year. During the harsh winters, property damage can occur for a number of reasons:

Roof damage: Heavy snow can cause roofs to collapse, especially if they are older or not properly maintained. Ice dams can also form on roofs, which can back up water and cause leaks.

Foundation damage: The freeze-thaw cycle can cause the soil around foundations to expand and contract, which can crack foundations.

Water damage: Frozen pipes can burst, causing water damage to walls, floors, and ceilings. Ice dams can also cause water to back up and leak into homes.

Tree damage: Heavy snow and ice can cause trees to fall, which can damage homes, power lines, and other property.

Wind damage: High winds can damage roofs, siding, and windows. They can also blow down trees and power lines.

Here are some tips to help prevent winter damage to your home:

• Keep your roof clear of snow and ice. Hire a professional to remove snow and ice from your roof if necessary.
• Insulate your pipes. This will help prevent them from freezing.
• Seal up cracks and gaps around your foundation. This will help prevent cold air from getting into your home.
• Trim trees around your home. This will help prevent them from falling on your home in a storm.
