Southeast Idaho endured another tough winter this year—with heavy snow, freezing temps, and fluctuating weather that put homes to the test. As spring and summer settle in, it’s time to assess the impact and get ahead of potential problems before they turn into expensive repairs.

From roof strain to water intrusion and mold growth, winter may have left behind more damage than you realize. At Resto Pro Idaho, we’ve seen firsthand how early maintenance can save thousands in restoration costs. Here’s your spring and summer repair guide:

🏚️ 1. Roof and Gutter Damage from Snow Load

Snow and ice accumulation can quietly compromise your roof’s integrity.

Inspect for:

• Buckled, missing, or curling shingles

• Leaking around vents, chimneys, or flashing

• Ice dam damage or clogged gutters

Why it matters: Heavy snow followed by spring melt can lead to roof leaks and water seeping into attics or walls. Clean, repair, and reinforce where needed.

💧 2. Water Intrusion and Foundation Cracks

Melting snow and saturated soil can push moisture into your home.

Check for:

• Foundation cracks, especially near corners

• Dampness in crawlspaces or basements

• Water staining on lower levels or behind walls

Act fast: Water damage left unaddressed quickly turns into mold issues—especially with rising temps in late spring.

❄️ 3. HVAC and Fire Safety System Tune-Ups

After working overtime this winter, your systems need attention.

Checklist:

• Service your furnace and switch to AC readiness

• Clean or replace HVAC filters

• Test smoke and CO detectors

• Remove any built-up lint in dryer or bathroom fans

Important: Space heaters and winter appliances can stress electrical systems—spring is a good time for a safety reset.

🛠️ 4. Exterior Repairs from Ice, Wind, and Salt

Winter wear shows up in the small details.

Repair and refresh:

• Power wash salt and grime from siding and decks

• Seal driveway or sidewalk cracks caused by frost heave

• Repaint or reseal exposed woodwork

• Re-caulk around windows and doors to block pests and drafts

Result: These updates protect your home’s structure and appearance through the dry summer ahead.

🦠 5. Mold Growth from Hidden Moisture

Winter condensation + spring warmth = perfect conditions for mold.

Watch for:

• Musty smells in closets, basements, or under sinks

• Discoloration on ceilings or around vents

• Leaks under appliances or in utility rooms
