Shady Spring Residents Prepare for Winter Storms with Key Prevention Tips?

We mitigate storm damage 24/7 in Raleigh County.

Our local Beckley team witnesses firsthand the damage winter storms can cause to homes and commercial businesses in Shady Spring. Here are some examples of winter weather that can cause property damage:

Snowstorms: Heavy snowfall is common in Beckley during the winter months. Accumulating snow can weigh down roofs, causing structural damage, especially if the roof is older or not well-maintained. Snow accumulation can also block gutters and downspouts, leading to water backflow and ice dams, which cause leaks and damage to the roof and attic.

Ice Storms: Ice storms occur when freezing rain coats surfaces, forming a thick layer of ice. This can lead to fallen tree branches and power lines, which may damage roofs, vehicles, and exterior walls. The weight of the ice can also damage gutters, windows, and doors, leading to costly repairs.

Freezing Rain: Even light freezing rain can create slippery conditions, but when rain freezes on contact with surfaces, it can damage roofs, siding, and decks. Ice buildup may also cause slip-and-fall hazards around a property and increase the risk of foundation cracks due to the expansion and contraction of water as it freezes and thaws.
