Butler County, PA is In For a Warm, Wet Winter In 2018

It’s not quite Winter yet, but it’s always a good idea to be prepared when it comes. The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts a warm and very wet winter this year for areas of Pennsylvania, including Southern Butler County. While you may think that water damage will only occur from flooding during the summer months, melting snow and wintry rain can be a serious issue, too.

Snow can weigh down on your roof, and eventually cause leaks. If you have a heavy snowfall which then warms and melts, it can get into your house if you don’t take necessary precautions, like keeping your roof clear of snow, leaves, sticks and other debris.

However this year, we are expecting it to be much warmer and wetter than normal. This means more rain (or sleet) and less snow. So, you may have more issues with water damage more typical of the Summer months.

Here are A Few Tips to Keep Your Home Dry This Winter

• Keep your roof clear of snow and debris
• Clear Snow and Debris from Doorways
• Keep a Close Eye on Your Ceilings; Inspect For Leaks
• Watch The Weather So You Know When Snow or Rain Will Hit Your Area
