Winter can be tough on businesses, especially when it comes to water damage. From frozen pipes to roof leaks, the risks can lead to costly repairs if not addressed. At ARSS Construction, we’re here to help you protect your property with effective water damage prevention and restoration services.
Common Causes of Winter Water Damage
Understanding the main sources of water damage can help you take proactive steps. Here are the common culprits:
Frozen Pipes : Uninsulated pipes can freeze and burst, causing significant flooding. Even small cracks in pipes can release gallons of water, damaging walls, floors, and inventory.
Roof Leaks : Heavy snow and ice can put pressure on your roof. Melting snow may seep into cracks, causing water stains, mold, and structural issues.
Clogged Gutters and Drains : Ice, leaves, and debris can clog your gutters and drainage systems, leading to water pooling on roofs or around foundations, resulting in leaks and foundation cracks.
HVAC Leaks : Poorly maintained heating systems can develop leaks, causing water damage to ceilings, walls, and floors.
