Winter Storms Impact Commercial Properties in Marquette Park, Illinois?

We are storm damage restoration leaders in Cook County.

Our local teams Evergreen Park/South Chicago City are trained and certified to restore storm damage in commercial properties. Marquette Park, Illinois, is no stranger to severe winter storms, and their impact on commercial properties can be significant.

Snow accumulation, freezing rain, and frigid temperatures often lead to various forms of damage, especially for buildings with aging infrastructure. Roofs are particularly susceptible to water damage caused by ice dams, which form when snow melts, refreezes, and blocks proper drainage.

Frozen pipes are another risk, as the freezing temperatures can cause them to crack or burst, leading to flooding inside the building. Commercial properties in Chicago also face the risk of broken windows from strong winds or the weight of heavy snow. Storm damage disrupts business operations and can lead to expensive repairs and lost revenue.

Installing roof heating cables or scheduling regular roof inspections can help mitigate the effects of winter storms. Business owners should also ensure their heating systems are working efficiently to prevent pipes from freezing. Keeping gutters and drains clear of debris will also help avoid ice dam formation.

By staying proactive and addressing potential winter hazards early, commercial property owners can protect their buildings and minimize the impact of winter storms.
