We understand how important it is for you and your staff to be working and producing.

We want you to be as prepared as possible for common storms in Illinois. Preparedness will likely prevent some damage and hopefully decrease your out of commission times. 

• Frozen pipes can be disastrous, and oftentimes, very preventable. Please do a sweep of your building and make sure your pipes are insulated.
• Loss of power can cause a multitude of issues, including frozen pipes, loss of production, and loss of product. It’s a great idea to have a generator. 
• If you have large trees around your commercial facility, it’s recommended to keep them trimmed and in good health. Tree limbs can easily be tossed around by high winds, it’s a good idea to have them professionally trimmed away from rooftops, any power lines, and windows. 
• Keeping your facility up to date in general by having it inspected annually, this would include having your furnace/AC checked, making sure general maintenance is being followed, electric lines are in good condition, and roof and guttering are well maintained.
