The winter months can be brutal in Michigan. Ice dams and frozen pipes are the number one culprit of water damage claims in the winter. 

When temperatures plummet to below freezing in a typical Michigan winter, it is common to experience frozen pipes or ice damming along the roof lines. Much of the damage can be prevented if the home or business owner understands the proper prevention techniques.

Frozen pipes or damaging ice dams can still form, even with the best prevention efforts.

Steps to Prevent Frozen Pipes in the Winter

The most cost-effective method of water damage restoration from a frozen pipe is prevention. Luckily, there are actions you can take to ensure pipes stay healthy- even during the harshest winter days. 

On the coldest days, turn each faucet on to a slow drip. The small but continuous flow prevents water from freezing completely within the pipeline.

 

Proper air circulation within the home can assist in the prevention of freezing pipes. The additional circulation of warm air from the open cabinet doors can help keep pipes at above freezing temperatures.

It may seem counterintuitive. However, it can save you a frozen pipe or two. In fact, most of our clients who experience frozen pipes thought they would be saving money by keeping heating costs down while they were away. Instead, they came home to water damage in their home that could have been prevented if they just bumped their thermostat up a few degrees.

Ice Damming Prevention

Ice dams occur when the snow melts faster on the roof than along the edges. The accelerated snowmelt accumulates along the roof and gutter line, which can create an unnecessary heaviness. The additional weight can cause leaks behind the siding or roof leaks; both can cause water damage issues that could worsen if not addressed immediately. 

Keeping the roof cold during the winter seems counterintuitive. However, we have found that since heat raises through the attic, it can contribute to an acceleration of snowmelt in the middle of the roof. This creates the perfect conditions for an ice dam. Shielding the roof from interior heat helps to prevent ice damming along the edges. Since the snow melts evenly, it prevents unnecessary run-off on the edge of the roof.
