The sun is out the temperatures are climbing above the melting point (freezing point if it's coming down). With roughly 50 days left to winter, we have, in some cases literally, a ton of snow on roofs and around buildings.
I know everyone is tired, but to avoid further issues in the next 2/3 of Winter, we need to get outside on days where temps creep over 32 degrees and clean up our roofs, and now the next culprit, the snow around foundations. If you have piles of snow against the foundation of your building or against the outside walls, you should begin to shovel it away or snow blow it or just simply remove it. The same holds true for your roof. The less snow around or on the building, the less apt you are to have water intrusion from the ground into your basements. Breaking up the ice dams by getting some grooves into them and removing snow from the roof as high up as you can will avoid water penetration from the roof structure.
Should you encounter issues with water intrusion into your building, call us to dry it. Failure to dry this out quickly will raise your chances of mold and microbial growth thus subjecting your indoor environment to some poor air quality. Keep working little by little on the nice days, and the bigger problems of severe Winter weather will not be an issue for YOU.
Feel free to check in with our office should you have issues with your building with regard to water, soot, odors, etc.
