Winter Damage Prevention Strategies 

Even with the most comprehensive insurance coverage possible, being proactive with property maintenance and repairs is much preferable to proceeding to repairs and restoration. Home and business owners in the Chaska or Chanhassen area can use a range of strategies to minimize or avoid winter storm damage. 

  • Keep gutters clear year-round.
  • Check or upgrade insulation in attic/upper levels.
  • Seal cracks in exterior walls and weather-strip drafty windows and doors.
  • Trim trees and other vegetation around the building.
  • Wrap insulation around pipes on exterior walls and in basements and crawl spaces.
  • Open closets and cabinets to facilitate the circulation of warm air during cold snaps.
  • Allow water to drip from faucets to maintain flow.
  • Monitor the depth of rooftop snow and make arrangements to remove excess.

Extreme & Changing Weather Patterns are Everywhere

Snow-related concerns are not always limited to the traditional cold-weather belt. Record breaking low temperatures and unexpected snowfall totals are in the news constantly. We recommend that property owners everywhere be aware of and prepare for the risks of unusual bouts of freezing and snowy weather.
