Cold Weather Preparedness for Coastal Businesses

Along the Grand Strand, businesses rarely deal with snow, but freezing temperatures and strong winds can still cause serious damage. Preparing your commercial property now can prevent costly downtime later.

1. Inspect roofs and gutters
Ensure your roof is in good condition and gutters are clear of debris to handle melting ice and rain.

2. Protect outdoor plumbing and irrigation
Wrap exposed pipes and shut off outdoor water sources before temperatures drop below freezing.

3. Review heating and ventilation systems
Schedule maintenance for your HVAC systems to ensure they perform efficiently through colder months.

4. Evaluate your commercial insurance coverage
Confirm your policy includes coverage for property damage, business interruption, and equipment breakdowns. Moore & Associates Insurance can help tailor your plan to your unique needs.

5. Develop an emergency response plan
Have a plan in place for power outages or property damage, including contact information for emergency repairs and your insurance provider.

With preparation and comprehensive coverage, your business can stay resilient no matter how cold the coastal weather becomes.
