Blizzard Relief For Those Affected

Blizzards can wreak havoc on businesses, big and small. From branches and leaves clogging gutters to roads becoming impassable, blizzards have the potential to cause serious damage—not to mention the danger they pose to customers and employees. 


But while blizzards may seem like they're all doom and gloom, there are steps you can take to minimize the damage they cause. Whether you're a business owner or a homeowner, read on to learn more about protecting your property from blizzard damage.

Roof and Gutter Damage

One of the most common problems caused by blizzards is roof and gutter damage. Heavy snow and ice can build up in gutters, causing them to pull away from the roof or even collapse altogether. And if gutters aren't properly clearing water away from the foundation, they can seep into basement walls and cause serious structural damage. 


To prevent this type of damage, it's important to clear gutters before a blizzard hits. You should also consider installing gutter guards to keep debris from clogging them in the first place. And if you live in an area that's prone to heavy snowfall, it's a good idea to have your roof inspected before winter weather hits to ensure that it's in good condition.


Road Closures

Blizzards can also cause road closures, which can make it difficult for customers or employees to get to your business. To minimize the impact of road closures, it's important to have a plan in place for how your business will operate in the event that access is limited. 


For example, you may want to consider offering incentives for employees who live close by to come in early or stay late so that they can leave before roads close. Or, if you have remote employees, now might be a good time to let them work from home until conditions improve. By thinking ahead, you can make sure that your business is able to weather the storm—literally!


Downed Power Lines

Another common problem caused by blizzards is downed power lines. If lines fall near your business, it could cause a power outage that could last for days—or even weeks! To avoid this type of disruption, it's important to have a backup plan in place for how your business will operate without power. 


For example, you may want to invest in a generator so that you can keep critical systems up and running. Or, if you have employees who work remotely, now might be a good time to let them work from home until conditions improve. By thinking ahead and being prepared, you can help ensure that your business isn't adversely affected by a power outage caused by a blizzard—or any other type of weather-related event.

Here Are Some Waste Cost Solutions Resources

Despite their well-known dangers, blizzards don't have to spell disaster for businesses. By taking some simple precautions, such as clearing gutters, installing gutter guards, and having a plan for how your business will operate in the event of road closures or power outages, you can help minimize the impact of winter weather on your property —and your bottom line. So when the next big storm hits, you'll be ready!
