Preparing Your Commercial Building for Winter

12/15/2020 (Permalink)

Winter is coming! So, with that in mind, it’s important to prep your commercial building for the coming winter this fall.

• Inspect the roof for damage.

If you haven’t yet, inspect your roof for damage from the spring and summer months. Although we had a fairly quiet spring and summer when it came to hail and tornadoes we still did have some strong storms with strong winds. If you haven’t detected any water damage from the recent rains, it’s still a good idea to go ahead and make sure there aren’t any unseen holes were water could have gotten in with you unaware.

• Check your Gutters

Check your gutters for any blockages from leaves that have fallen during the fall months. Clean them out to make sure that nothing can overflow and potentially damage your building.

• Inspect your insulation.

Inspect the insulation of your building, and make sure there is nothing missing, damaged, or has unexpected water and mold damage. Replace and damaged or missing insulation and call SERVPRO of Texarkana to help you deal with any mold.

• Inspect your pipes.

Inspect your pipes in the early fall before the first freezes, a burst pipe could be devastating for your business. If you do have a burst pipe, give us a call!
