At SERVPRO of Glen Burnie our number one priority is getting your business back in operation as quickly as possible. In the past, SERVPRO of Glen Burnie has seen winter and summer storms wreak havoc on Anne Arundel County. Has your business experienced loss during these storms? Is your property ready for the next storm? 

Winter weather can bring frozen pipes when they are exposed to cold weather, such as those outside your building. A frozen pipe can burst at the point where the ice blockage inside the pipe is located, but typically the rupture is caused from the backflow of pressure between the water source and the blockage. 

Here are some additional tips for preparing your business for winter weather: 

• Check your business property for downed tree limbs and branches. 

• Inspect property, especially walkways and parking lots, for proper drainage to alleviate flood hazard potential. 
• Inspect handrails, stairwells and entryways to address and correct potential slippery or hazardous areas.
