Snow turns to rain, then doubles

Above 7,000 ft it rained into the snowpack. The load got heavier.

A ceiling that has failed: water staining radiating in cracks from a hole punched through the drywall, with water streaming down into the room

Water inside

You see it on the ceiling

It soaks the insulation, stains the ceiling, grows mold.

Receipts // why we are saying this

Every number on this page has a source.

We sell an inspection that tells you the truth. It would be strange to market it with numbers we made up.

This is a visual condition inspection of accessible roof and gutter areas. It does not certify structural snow-load capacity and it cannot guarantee a roof will not leak or fail. An ENSO outlook is not a local snow-depth forecast.
