Preparing for Stormy Weather

The weather can be unpredictable and even extreme at times. It's important to prepare your building for any potential damage that can be caused by harsh weather conditions. Here's our ultimate guide to preparing your building for extreme weather conditions:

1. Inspect your roof: Check for any loose or missing shingles, and make sure your gutters are clean and free of debris. A well-maintained roof can prevent leaks and water damage during heavy rain or snow.

2. Seal your windows: Make sure your windows are properly sealed to prevent air leakage and water infiltration. This can help keep your building warm during cold weather and prevent water damage during heavy rain.

3. Trim trees and bushes: Trim any trees or bushes that are close to your building to prevent them from falling on your roof during high winds or heavy snow.

4. Check your drainage: Ensure that your drainage system is working properly to prevent flooding during heavy rain. Clear any clogs or debris in your gutters and downspouts.

5. Secure outdoor items: Secure any outdoor items that could become airborne during high winds, such as patio furniture, trash cans, and signs.

6. Have an emergency plan: Prepare an emergency plan in case of extreme weather conditions, such as a hurricane or tornado. Make sure your employees or tenants know what to do and where to go in case of an emergency.

By following these tips, you can help protect your building and ensure the safety of your employees or tenants during extreme weather conditions.
