Ice and Snow are Major DANGERS to your Home's Exterior
Winter weather can affect your home in so many ways.
Heavy-weight loads, trapped moisture, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that crack materials, warp siding, and compromise structural integrity.
Winter is seen as one of the still, peaceful times of the year: fewer animals, bugs, traffic, and outdoor activities. But the place people spend the most time in winter can be severely compromised if your home isn’t protected.
At Oliwill Construction, we understand the rising costs cascading through several major sectors right now, leading people to feel that property improvements are lower on the priority list.
However, with flexible financing options, we can jump-start your project while comfortably spreading the financial impact.
Roofs and Gutters
- Ice dams: Roof heat melts snow, which refreezes at cold eaves, trapping water that seeps under shingles to rot wood and insulation.
- Heavy snow weight: Accumulated wet snow sags or stresses roof framing.
- Gutter detachment: Ice chunks pull gutters away from the fascia board.
Siding and Walls
- Vinyl cracking: Freezing temperatures make vinyl brittle, leading to cracks from impact or wind stress.
- Moisture penetration: Meltwater enters small gaps, expanding during freeze-thaw cycles to warp panels and rot underlying sheathing.
- Staining: Dirty runoff water leaves unsightly marks on exterior walls.
Outdoor Equipment, Foundation, and Concrete
- Frost heave: Water in soil freezes and expands, shifting the ground and cracking concrete driveways, walkways, and foundations.
- Basement leaks: Thawing ground saturates soil, forcing hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls.
- HVAC strain: Snow and ice block outdoor unit airflow or damage fan blades.
- Pipe bursts: Uninsulated outdoor faucets or hose bibs freeze and rupture when trapped water expands.
