Why It’s Important to Prepare Your Business for a COVID-19 Shutdown This Winter
As COVID-19 cases increase in the US, states may temporarily shut down to reduce the number of infections and put less strain on hospitals. But shutting down your business and leaving it idle during the winter can have many risks, such as:
- Freezing pipes
- Roofs damaged by snow and ice
- Ice dams in gutters and fascia
- Water leaks
- Vandalism
- Pest damage
- Fires, especially since sprinkler system lines may be frozen
