Do you have a plan for snow removal?

Winter storms can come out of nowhere, and the first snow if the year is not the time to decide what you’re going to do about it.  Most likely you have invested a significant amount of time and money into your commercial property. Taking the time to winterize your commercial property this fall can be far less expensive and inconvenient than having to fix the problems several weeks or months from now.  Here are some important steps to take when preparing your commercial property for winter!

1. Plan for snow and ice removal
2. Check your plumbing and caulking to prevent leaks and drafts
3. Have your roof inspected
4. Clean your gutters, drains, and sewer drains
5. Shut down your office irrigation systems
6. Winterize your landscape to protect your real estate investment
7. Make sure your fire prevention equipment is working
8. Have a contingency plan
