Preparing your commercial property for Fall is easy with these helpful tips and tricks from SERVPRO of Harlingen/San Benito!
As the seasons change in our part of Texas, business owners need to be proactive in protecting their commercial properties from potential weather-related damage. Fall and winter bring unique challenges, from heavy rains and storms to the occasional cold snap. Here at SERVPRO of Harlingen / San Benito, we’re dedicated to helping you safeguard your business and ensure it remains operational no matter what the weather brings.
Harlingen and our surrounding communities experience mild winters compared to many other parts of the country, but that doesn’t mean you should let your guard down. Fall can bring heavy rains, while winter occasionally sees lower temperatures that can impact your business infrastructure. Preparing for these conditions can prevent costly damages and ensure a smooth transition between seasons.
One of the first things you should do as fall approaches is to inspect your roof and gutters. Leaves and debris can clog gutters, leading to water overflow and potential roof damage. Ensure your gutters are clean and free of obstructions. Check your roof for any missing shingles or potential weak spots that could leak during heavy rains.
Drafty windows and doors can lead to higher energy bills and discomfort for your employees. Inspect all windows and doors for leaks and seal any gaps with weather stripping or caulk. This not only keeps the cold out but also helps maintain a comfortable working environment.
Your HVAC system works hard to keep your business comfortable year-round. Before the colder weather hits, schedule a maintenance check to ensure it’s running efficiently. Replace filters and consider having your ducts cleaned to improve air quality and system performance.
Storms can sometimes lead to power outages. Make sure your business is prepared by having a backup generator in place. This ensures that essential systems remain operational and minimizes downtime.
Inspect your outdoor areas, including signage and lighting. Secure any loose items that could become hazardous in high winds. Trim trees and shrubs to prevent branches from damaging your building during storms.
