Water Damage After A Snow Storm

12/4/2022 (Permalink)

Snow storms are exciting! Snowmen, sledding, hot chocolate and snow days from work and school are the fun parts of winter storms in Illinois. Unfortunately, severe weather can leave costly and frustrating damage to your home.

The most common causes of property damage to your home caused by winter weather are roof damage caused by heavy snow and ice and flooding caused by burst pipes and "ice dams".  Ice dams are ridges that build up on the edge of your roof that prevent melting water from running off. The water will then find cracks and openings on the roof to enter the attic space and interior of the home. Even with proper maintenance, your home is vulnerable to these situations when snow falls heavily and temperatures drop.

If your home has been damaged by severe winter weather, trust the restoration professionals at SERVPRO of Joliet. We will be on site quickly to assess the damage and make a plan to make your home "Like it never even happened." Reach us anytime day or night at 815-436-5735.
