Winter weather can take a toll on both residential and commercial properties, leading to costly repairs and inconvenience. From frozen pipes to ice damming, the risks of ice and water damage increase significantly during colder months. WINMAR®, with over 45 years of experience in property restoration, offers nationwide services to help mitigate and address these challenges. With 90 franchises across Canada, our trained and certified teams are equipped to handle any situation, big or small.
Understanding Ice and Water Damage
Ice and water damage often occur due to freezing temperatures that cause pipes to burst, roofs to leak, or gutters to overflow. Common scenarios include:
- Frozen Pipes: Water expands as it freezes, leading to pipe bursts that can cause significant flooding.
- Ice Damming: Blocked gutters and insufficient insulation can cause water to back up and seep into walls and ceilings.
- Roof Damage: Accumulated snow and ice add excessive weight, potentially causing structural issues.
- Foundation Issues: Water pooling around the foundation can freeze and expand, resulting in cracks and other structural concerns.
How to Minimize Risks and Save Money
Preventative measures can help reduce the likelihood of ice and water damage. Here are some tips:
- Insulate Pipes and Attics: Proper insulation can prevent freezing and ice dam formation.
- Maintain Gutters and Downspouts: Clear debris to ensure proper drainage.
- Seal Cracks and Openings: Inspect and seal gaps around windows, doors, and foundations.
- Monitor Interior Temperatures: Keep indoor temperatures above freezing, even in unoccupied spaces.
- Inspect Roofing: Address loose shingles, leaks, or other vulnerabilities before winter sets in.
