Winter

Another winter storm can create new problems. When heavy snow, melting and refreezing overlap, stress on your home can build quickly - often in ways that aren’t obvious at first.

You may be dealing with:

• Freezing temperatures that put exposed pipes at risk
• Heavy snow buildup that strains roofs and structural supports
• Melting snow that leads to leaks, water intrusion or flooding
• Ice buildup along rooflines that traps water and causes hidden damage

The resources on this page focus on the most common winter-weather risks homeowners face and the steps that can help reduce damage - whether you’re preparing ahead of time or responding after the storm has passed.
