2021 Polar Vortex Brings Arctic Temperatures To The United States

The coldest air this winter is set to hit most of the country this week, leading to brutal cold and possible cold rain, sleet, or snow throughout various regions in various regions of the United States. This cold air is set to plummet temperatures to -25°F as the Arctic air surges throughout the nation. This winter weather pattern comes shortly after many in the Midwest and Northeast are recovering from record snow in their regions, potentially leading to more weeks of damaging winter weather.

How Can The Polar Vortex Affect My Home or Business?

These damaging winds caused by the Arctic weather are strong enough to potentially cause severe damage to your home. Your roof may suffer winter weather damage as a result of the strong, cold winds, providing an easy entrance for snow or water to enter and cause water damage to your home or business. Your water pipes may also freeze, leading to your pipes to burst and extensive water damage to affect your property.

While the immediate damages of the cold weather are worth noting, there are also long-term damages that could happen. Snow or ice forming in your roof could lead to ice dams that can lead to damage to your roof that can then lead to water leaks in your home. Water damage that goes unaddressed in your attic or walls could lead to mold, which may require mold removal to address.
