Preventative winter care can help Concord homeowners avoid costly and destructive water damage. 

The winter season can be among the harshest for homes and businesses in New Hampshire. Expecting the damage that can come and working to prevent these catastrophes can protect your property against overwhelming water damage effects.

How Can Severe Winter Weather Damage Homes?

Frozen pipes and ice damming in Concord homes are two ways severe winter weather can have the greatest impact on a property. Without preventative management for your house, damages that could result from include:

• Frozen water service lines
• Damaging water fixtures
• Roof damages 
• Ice buildup 
• Flooding

Keeping Your Pipes from Freezing

Frozen pipes are not an inevitability. You can often prevent these unfortunate circumstances, including the added threats of bursting or rupturing pipes. Keeping the areas around exposed pipes warmer through direct insulation, space heaters, or better house heat can prevent ice formation.

Avoiding Ice Damming Threats

It is possible to limit the threats of situations like ice damming. Long-term, you want to ensure that the insulation in your house is consistent and adequate against the roof. You can also install heated cables near the roof's edges to make these spaces unable to support ice.
