Winterize Your Home One Step at a Time
Did you know that the way your house is built can be key during a snowstorm? That’s why at Cline Construction we take into consideration all types of weather conditions when we take on a project. Here are some of the ways we do that:
- Sealing Windows and Doors
Winter brings along cold winds and drafts can turn your house into a literal freezer. By sealing gaps and doors with weatherstripping and/or caulking, the cold air will be kept out while the heat will not leak. At the same time, adding window insulation film can further help reduce the loss of heat, which is a crucial component during snow storms as temperatures drop quickly.
- Insulating Roofs and Ice Dam Prevention
Snow storms mean heaps of accumulated snow, and when it melts during the day and refreezes at night it causes the dreaded ice dams, the same ones that block your drainage and cause water to leak into your house, the solution? Ice and water shields to present the damage.
Do you know what else is great at keeping ice dams at bay? Insulating your roof. You will not only prevent ice dams but also any likelihood of heat escaping through your roof.
- Outdoor Plumbing but Make It Winter Style
Snowstorms and freezing temperatures pose significant risks to your plumbing. When pipes freeze and burst, they cause substantial damage to your property. Get ahead of this situation by ensuring outdoor faucets are frost-proof while also insulating exposed pipes.

- Keep Your Heating System up to Date
During winter, you need a reliable and efficient heating system. Make sure it’s working at full capacity so you can maintain a comfortable temperature despite the cold and also avoid any breakdowns during critical moments.
- Insulated Basements and Crawl Spaces
If crawl spaces and basements are not insulated, cold air can seep in through, which makes for chilly floors and drafts throughout your home. Insulate those areas to keep your house warmer and more energy-efficient during the colder months.
