Ice Dams: Prep with MA Home Insurance & Renovations Now
Believe it or not, the summer is slowly (but surely) drawing to a close. With school starting in just a few weeks, everyone will be “back to the grind” and summer will soon be a memory.
Before the summer ends, is your home ready for winter? I know! I should be tarred and feathered for not only talking about the end of summer, but winter too?! But with the craziness of last year’s winter weather and the ice dams that resulted, NOW is the time to prepare your property for the worst. Avoid the damage to your home that winter might bring by preparing your house now.
An article from the Building and Construction Technology Department at UMASS Amherst says that “Proper insulation and roof ventilation can stop ice dams from forming, prevent damage and lower energy bills.” See the rest of the article for tips on how properly prevent ice dams with insulation and ventilation systems.
Another way to properly prepare for the potential damage that winter might bring is to talk to your local MA Insurance agent at Encharter Insurance about Massachusetts Home Insurance. Make sure that you’re adequately protected from loss, should the worst occur during those cold, winter months.
(Now that I’ve been a total kill-joy…) Go and enjoy the rest of the summer before it’s too late!!
