With snow already starting to fall across Central Alberta, now is the time to make sure your home or business is ready for the long winter ahead. At ServiceMaster Restore of Red Deer, we’ve seen firsthand how freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and ice buildup can quickly lead to serious property damage from frozen pipes and roof leaks to ice damming and flooding from melting snow.
Common Winter Property Risks
Frozen or burst pipes – when temperatures drop, uninsulated pipes can freeze and rupture, causing extensive water damage.
Ice dams on roofs – snow that melts and refreezes along the roofline can trap water, leading to leaks and ceiling damage.
Snow load and ice buildup – excessive snow on roofs or around foundations can compromise structural integrity and lead to basement water issues.
How to Protect Your Property
- Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris.
- Insulate exposed pipes and check for drafts.
- Ensure your furnace, sump pump, and heating systems are maintained.
- Remove excess snow from roofs and around foundations safely.
