Property Damage Scenarios

During the harsh cold months of the winter, there are a variety of ways a property can be damaged during the season. Wind during a storm has the ability to damage your home directly and indirectly. It can tear off side paneling, roof shingles, along with other parts of the structure depending on wind speed. An indirect scenario such as a tree limb snapping and damaging your roof or another part of the home. Snow can pile up especially if it isn’t cleared allowing the weight to increase leading to potential damage to your roof. Gutters can be a vulnerability if left unmaintained causing them to freeze or having snow clogging them, which leads to water damage in most cases.
