Is Your Facility Storm-Ready? Here’s Your Pre-Storm Checklist from Crockett –

As we enter peak storm season, preparation is essential. Whether it’s a hurricane, flash flood, or severe thunderstorm, the impact of unexpected weather can disrupt your operations, damage your assets, and put occupants at risk.

At Crockett Facilities Services, we help our clients take a proactive approach to protect their buildings. Get ahead of the next big storm with these tips:

1. Clear Debris from Roofs and Drains
Leaves and branches can block rooftop drainage systems and lead to water pooling and leaks. Inspect all roofs and gutters, and remove any obstructions to allow proper water flow.

2. Ensure Sump Pumps Are Operational
Test all sump pumps and ensure backup systems are in place.

3. Check Emergency Generators and Lighting
Power outages are common in severe weather. Inspect and test your backup generators, fuel levels, and emergency lighting systems.

4. Verify Water Detection Systems
Make sure sensors and alarms are in place and fully functional in areas prone to leaks or flooding.

5. Have Your Response Partners Lined Up
In an emergency, minutes matter. Be sure you have reliable contractors on standby, including  your repair vendors for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical – plus insurance policy contacts and mold remediation teams.

Don’t Wait for the Forecast. Prepare Now.
