Is Your Business Ready for Winter?

12/7/2021 (Permalink)

Winter weather is expected to hit the Reisterstown area this week. Is your business prepared?

Cold weather can have a huge impact on your business if you’re not ready for it. Freezing rain and low temperatures, damaging winds, sleet and snow can all cause serious and costly property damage. While you cannot control the weather, you can take steps to prepare your Reisterstown business.

To help prevent costly winter storm damages, consider taking the following precautions to protect your property before winter weather hits:

1. Check your Reisterstown business property for downed tree limbs and branches. Wind, heavy rain, ice and snow can cause branches to fall, which could cause damage to your property and potentially lead to personal injuries.
2. Inspect all handrails, stairwells and entryways to address and correct potentially slippery or hazardous areas.
3. Install mats or non-slip surfaces and post caution signs where water or ice could be present.
4. Take steps to prevent frozen pipes and avoid costly water damage to your property.

Even with proper precaution, the unexpected can happen. SERVPRO of Reisterstown has the equipment, expertise, and experience to help with the cleanup and restoration of winter weather damage.
