We’re not used to having the temperature dip below 20 degrees. Snowmageddon is termed not only for our inability to effectively manage snow removal, but also for the effect it has on our housing stock.

From heaving ground to bursting pipes to damaged roofs and drainage systems, our homes take a beating in the severe cold as indicated in this article from 2009. Most of the damage caused is invisible. Cracking foundations are perhaps the most costly, although we have seen some issues with flat roof scuppers that have caused entire walls to rot out over time.

Common sense and proper planning can maintain the value of your home.

Upgrading and maintaining your home is our specialty. Occasionally, we take that technology to where the snow and ice are more severe.  Like the top of a mountain.

 

 

Here is an article that provides advice if you are caught in this situation. And a video to illustrate our winter wonderland:

If you have ever added water to a potted plant, or pulled weeds after a good rain, you know that water tends to loosen the soil.

Following a series of heavy rains, the top soil layer gets saturated above the dense rocky clay in our region. Trees tend to stand less of a chance against strong winds. Those that don’t blow completely over from losing their grip to the soil may break at some point up the trunk.

When this happens in the forest, it’s not as concerning. But when it happens on a house, it can ruin your whole day. Fortunately, we have the experience to help.
