Is your Property ready for Winter?

To help prevent damages due to weather, consider taking the following precautions to protect before colder weather hits.

Check your business property for downed tree limbs and branches. Weather, such as wind, heavy rain, ice and snow, can cause branches to fall, which could cause damage to the property and potentially cause personal injuries.

Roofs, water pipes and gutters should all be inspected to ensure they are in proper order. Gutter downspouts should be directed away from your building. Clear your gutters of debris that may have gathered during the fall. Leaves and other obstructions can lead to a damming effect that can lead to roof damage and interior water problems.

Inspect property, especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential.
