We are storm damage restoration leaders in Lane County.

Our local teams in South Eugene and Florence are leaders in storm damage restoration services. Winterizing a commercial property in the Pacific Northwest is crucial to avoid damage from cold temperatures, rain, and snow. With unpredictable weather patterns, taking proactive steps can protect your business and ensure smooth operations throughout the winter season.

1. Inspect and Insulate Pipes: Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to burst, leading to water damage. Wrap exposed pipes, particularly those in unheated spaces, and inspect for any potential leaks. Consider installing pipe-heating cables for added protection.
2. Maintain the Roof and Gutters: Intense rainfall and snowfall can result in roof leaks and cause water damage. Inspect the roof for weak spots and clear out gutters to prevent blockages that cause water buildup.
3. Seal Windows and Doors: Drafts increase heating costs and can lead to frozen pipes. Check that windows and doors are securely sealed, and swap out any worn weather stripping to block cold air from coming in.
4. Check Heating Systems: Ensure your HVAC system is in top condition before winter arrives. Schedule regular maintenance to prevent breakdowns when you need heat the most.
5. Develop a Snow Removal Plan: Prepare for snow accumulation by arranging snow removal services and placing ice-melt products around walkways to ensure safety.
