Unusually Warm Winter in Southern MN

2/3/2020 (Permalink)

Have you been loving this warm weather that we are having in SE Minnesota? It's nothing like last year when we were in the below zero temperatures and wind chills for days on end. 

SERVPRO of Rochester has a few tips for times like this when the temperature fluctuates from below freezing to above freezing temperatures. 

1. Clear snow, ice or debris from gutters so water can run freely as it melts. 

2. While you are doing that, check to see that there aren't any obstructions in front of or near the gutters, low windows, or window wells. 

3. Check your roof and roof peaks for ice dams. 

4. Check outside pipes for leaks. 

If you do have water coming in your home, move as many contents as you can to a higher floor in your home. Document as you go.  Call SERVPRO of Rochester at 507-286-9170.  We answer 24 hours a day.
