Dangers of cold weather

Although we are right at the tail end of winter, we are still not out of the dangers of the cold weather. One of the main dangers that tend to affect a large majority of homes is ice damming. Ice damming happens when the snow on the rook surface becomes freezing and then melts, in turn the water will begin to flow down the roof and underneath causing an ice dam. If this happens it can cause a whole variety of problems including water and mold possibilities. There are ways to prevent ice damming to happen.

• Make sure that you are ventilating the eaves and ridges
• Cap the hatch
• Add insulation where it is needed
• Make sure to seal and insulate the ducts.
