Water
Problems
In our climate, we are subject
to water problems all year. In the winter, melting snow on the roof
can get into your home. In the summer, large rainfalls can result in
sewer backup and sump pump malfunction.
- Roof - control the accumulation
of snow on your roof and ensure that the eaves troughs are clear of
ice buildup. If they are not, melting snow will get under the shingles
and damage the interior of your home.
- Basement - ensure that
your sump pump is in a proper location and functioning. Have a battery
operated sump pump as a backup.
