Winter Weather

Winter is on its way, is your business ready? SERVPRO of Edgewater/Deale-Churchton/Lothian can help prepare your business with an Emergency Ready Profile (ERP). But, here are 5 tips you can implement yourself:

1. Check your business property for downed tree limbs and branches. Weather, such as wind, heavy rain, ice and snow, can cause branches to fall, which could cause damage to the property and potentially cause personal injuries.
2. Stay tuned to radio or television for quickly changing weather conditions.
3. Inspect property, especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential.
4. Inspect all handrails, stairwells and entryways to address and correct potential slippery or hazardous areas. Install mats or non-slip surfaces and post caution signs where water could be present.
5. Stay aware of your surroundings when holiday shopping especially at night. If you see something…say something. Call 9-1-1.
