2/20/2024 (Permalink)

We restore commercial storm damage 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township teams have been restoring storm damage for the Macomb Township business community for many years. After a winter storm has passed it is a good idea to inspect your property and make sure it is safe from damage.

The Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety offers this information on what a business can do after a winter storm event:

Activate your business continuity plan

• Ensure everyone is safe
• Make sure guests, clients, and employees are safe 
• Be prepared to evacuate if structural damage from snow and ice makes a building unsafe
• Stay away from downed powerlines

Snow removal 

• Keep the parking lot and sidewalks surrounding the building free of snow and ice. Shovel after each snowfall. Keep ice melt/salt on the ground to prevent slips and falls.  
• Place non-slip mats in front of entryways to prevent slipping as employees and customers enter/exit your business property.
• Monitor your roof’s snow load to ensure it does not exceed its maximum capacity.
• Conduct an assessment of the snow and ice equivalent.
• If you have excessive snow or ice dams, have your snow removal team safely remove the snow and ice dams.
• Watch for signs of snow load damage, such as creaking sounds, a sagging roof, cracks in the ceiling or walls, water stains, and doors or windows that no longer open and close correctly.
• In case of a power outage, use your generator.
