Plan Ahead For Thawing Snow in Erie, PA

2/1/2021 (Permalink)

To prevent snow from entering the foundation of your home, shovel snow closest to your home away.

One of the biggest complaints about weather in and around Erie is that it is so unpredictable. Monday could bring sunny mild weather and by Wednesday we could have snow covering the ground. This unpredictability is annoying, but it can also cause some water damage in your home.

When snow thaws near and on top of your house, it could be dangerous. Here’s a few tips on how to prevent the changing weather from damaging your home:

• Shovel heavy snow off of your roof, stand on the ground to do so or call a professional.
• Properly seal anything exposed to the outdoors such as windows and walls.
• Check for ice dams.
• To prevent snow from entering the foundation of your home, shovel snow closest to your home away.
• Check your roof, basement, and other vulnerable areas frequently.
