Hanover Insurance Advises Homeowners to Watch Out for Ice Dams

As low temperatures sweep across the Northeast, ice dams increasingly are becoming a hazard for home and business owners alike. And with winter weather continuing, The Hanover Insurance Group Inc. in Worcester, Mass. is advising property owners to take action to reduce damage and avoid injury. “Cold winter months alone can cause damage to your home or your business. But, emerging challenges, such as ice dams that form and go unattended can lead to leaks, mold and even safety hazards caused by falling ice,” said Michael Billings, vice president at The Hanover’s safety management team.
