Property Managements Winter Worries

A huge storm is making its way across the United States this week.  It started by bringing high winds, mudslides and flooding to many people on the West Coast.  There were huge amounts of snow in the mountains leaving people stranded on snowmobiles and roadways.  By the time it reached the Midwest this storm system collided with warm moist air from the Gulf coast, causing thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes.  This storm hopefully will ease up as it heads eastward.

All along its path this storm has caused huge amounts of damage for property management teams to deal with, including Columbia, Missouri.  Buildings have been destroyed, towns have been flooded, and roofs have been blown off.  It is essential that all damage be assessed as soon as is safely possible.  (Fixing a hole in the roof during a thunderstorm is a ridiculous idea.  However, covering it with a tarp as soon as the sun comes out will prevent further damage until something permanent can be done.)

After the cleanup is done, take a good look around.  Is that huge tree leaning a bit too much?  Are the tiles on the roof of your shopping mall looking rather worn?  Do those shutters keep banging the windows on that apartment building?  Is the vegetation on that hillside above your self storage complex gone because of a California wildfire?  A good property management team works on repairing problems before too much harm can occur.  Remember, there will be another storm, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
