When Winter Weather Strikes!

Don't let winter weather affect your business!

Are you prepared for the cold Maryland weather? Cold weather can have a huge impact on your Annapolis home or business if you’re not ready for it. From freezing rain and low temperatures, to damaging winds, sleet or snow, can all cause serious and costly property damage. While you cannot control the weather, you can take steps to prepare your Severna Park home or business. 

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

• Check your Annapolis 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 cause personal injuries. 
• Inspect your roof, pipes, and gutters, downspouts should be directed away from your building. Clear gutters of debris that may have gathered during the fall. Winter starts on the 21st and if your house is not prepared, fallen leaves can cause a damming effect, which can lead to roof damage. 
• Inspect all handrails, stairwells and entryways to address and correct potentially slippery or hazardous areas. Install mats or non-slip surfaces and post caution signs where water or ice could be present. 

When winter weather strikes, call SERVPRO of Annapolis/Severna Park to strike back.
