Freeze-Thaw Cycles - Swift temperature changes can accelerate damage to asphalt, concrete, and masonry surfaces.
Rainfall and Stormwater – Heavy rainfall and flood risks make stormwater management systems essential.
Heat and Humidity – Hot and humid summers can damage roofing, HVAC systems, and exterior finishes.
Soil and Drainage – Areas near the river or low-lying spots may have poor drainage or expansive soils, requiring special attention for foundations, retaining walls, and landscaping.
Trees and Vegetation – Heavily wooded neighborhoods and older suburbs may experience maintenance issues with fallen tree limbs as well as root expansion related damages.
Building Code Compliance – Mature trees can affect foundations, sidewalks, and sewer lines. Landscaping costs might be higher in areas with extensive tree coverage.
