Prepare for Winter Storms in Buffalo

Buffalo sometimes gets over 100 inches of snowfall in a year!

The winter storms have begun here in Buffalo, New York and once again it’s shaping up to be a snowy winter. If it’s anything like last year, the area could see as much as one hundred inches of snow throughout the season. It’s always good to take some precautions at the beginning of the season to prevent as much storm damage as possible. Make sure your heating sources are working and up to our local code. The last thing you want is for your heating to fail, during a winter blizzard! Also consider purchasing a generator in case the power goes out. Get your fireplace and chimney cleaned out yearly to avoid a chimney fire during a storm. Outside, make sure to remove any dead or cracked tree limbs, so they won’t collapse onto your house under the weight of the snow. Storms aren’t just limited to damage from the wind or snow, many times they can lead to water or fire damage. Protecting your home is very important in the event of a storm. However, SERVPRO is here to help and eager to help you cleanup any damage in the event of a storm.
