We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Itasca County.

Severe weather is a common threat to homes during the winter months. Our local Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing teams are highly trained and certified to restore storm damage quickly and efficiently. Some of the potential damage that can occur during a winter storm in Grand Rapids include:

Snow Accumulation: Heavy snowfall can accumulate on roofs, creating the risk of structural damage, especially for older or weaker roofs.

Ice Dams: The combination of snow and freezing temperatures can lead to ice dams on roofs, which can cause water infiltration, roof leaks, and damage to ceilings and walls.

Frozen Pipes: Extremely cold temperatures can lead to frozen water pipes, which can burst and cause water damage when they thaw.

Power Outages: Winter storms may result in power outages due to downed power lines or equipment failures. This can lead to heating system failures, frozen pipes, and other issues.

Wind Damage: High winds associated with winter storms can damage roofs, siding, windows, and doors. It can also cause falling trees or branches that may damage homes...

Reduced Insulation Efficiency: Snow and ice can accumulate on walls and around windows and doors, reducing the insulation's effectiveness and increasing heating costs.

Frost Heave: The freezing and thawing of the ground can cause frost heave, which can affect foundations, driveways, and sidewalks.

Flooding During Thaw: After a winter storm, the melting snow can lead to localized flooding and water damage, especially if storm drains are blocked.
