DON’T SLIP! PROTECT YOUR WALKWAYS THIS WINTER

As winter weather sets in, icy conditions become a serious safety concern for homeowners, families, guests, and customers. Snow, melting ice, and freezing temperatures can quickly turn everyday walkways into slippery hazards and we want to help you prevent that before it becomes a problem.

One of the most common (and often overlooked) causes of winter slips and falls is dripping water from roofs without proper gutters. When snow or ice melts during the day, water runs off the roof and pools near entryways, steps, and walk paths. Once temperatures drop again, that water freezes, creating dangerous ice buildup exactly where people walk.

These icy patches can form overnight and are easy to miss, increasing the risk of slips, falls, and injuries. Beyond the safety concerns, repeated freezing and thawing can also damage concrete, steps, and landscaping over time.

Installing gutters, especially over entryways and high-traffic areas, helps channel water safely away from your home or building. By directing runoff away from walkways, gutters greatly reduce ice formation and help keep surfaces safer throughout the winter season. It’s a simple improvement that offers long-term protection and peace of mind.

If you’re noticing ice buildup near your doors, sidewalks, or steps or if your home doesn’t have gutters in key areas - now is the time to act.
