Water gets in, then expands

Melting snow seeps into tiny cracks and gaps. When it freezes it expands, widening the gap a little each cycle.

Where it shows up

Cracked shingles, lifted flashing around chimneys, loose gutters and damaged caulking.

Spring checkup

A spring inspection after a hard winter catches small problems before summer storms turn them into leaks.
