Melting Snow Can Spell Disaster

1/31/2022 (Permalink)

We finally got some snow!  Some people may be happy about it, while others may dread just shoveling their driveway.  But one thing that is true for everyone is the fact that when this snow melts, it could be worrisome to some homeowners. As we all know, snow is just water that has frozen on its way down to the ground.  And when the temperature rises enough, it will turn back into water.  So if your home is susceptible to water damage from groundwater or rain, you need to be mindful of melting snow causing some damage to your home.

As temperatures rise, keep an eye out for any of the telltale signs of water damage beginning.  These could be things like water pooling around your foundation or dripping into your attic.  If your gutters have ice in them, they will thaw slower, leading melting snow to stay on your roof or not be properly carried away from your home.

It is important to contact a water damage restoration professional as soon as you notice any water damage. SERVPRO of Norwalk/Wilton has over 30 years of experience working with people who have had water damage to their property.  If you have any type of water damage, call us immediately at 203.324.1642.
