Warren Residents Rely on Us to Restore Storm Damage?
1/3/2024 (Permalink)
Our local St. Clair Shores team mitigates and restores storm damage often during the winter months in Warren. Snow accumulation on roofs can lead to property damage as follows:
Structural Damage: The weight of snow can place significant stress on a roof's structure. Over time, the sheer weight of accumulated snow can lead to roof collapse, especially if the roof is old or poorly maintained.
Ice Dams: When snow on the roof melts and refreezes at the eaves, it can create ice dams. Ice dams prevent further melting snow from draining off the roof, leading to water backup under shingles. This can result in leaks, water damage, and even mold growth inside the home.
Roof Leaks: As snow melts during the day and refreezes at night, it can expand and contract, causing damage to roofing materials. This can result in small cracks and openings that allow water to penetrate the roof, leading to leaks.
Gutter and Downspout Damage: The weight of accumulated snow and ice can damage gutters and downspouts, causing them to sag, detach, or break away from the roofline. This can impact drainage and potentially lead to water intrusion.
Fascia and Soffit Damage: Snow accumulation can put pressure on the fascia and soffit, potentially causing damage and creating opportunities for water to enter the home.
Water Damage: As snow melts, it can flow underneath shingles or roofing materials, causing water damage to the roof's underlayment and insulation.
