Harsh Winter Storms Cause Commercial Property Damage in Loris?
12/17/2024 (Permalink)
For years, businesses in Loris have trusted our local Georgetown and Horry Counties teams to restore storm-damaged properties “Like it never even happened.” December can bring several types of storms that may damage commercial property:
Severe Thunderstorms
Cold fronts moving through South Carolina in December often trigger severe thunderstorms with heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning. These storms pose risks of flash flooding, roof damage, shattered windows, and power outages, all of which can interrupt business operations and increase repair costs.
Tornadoes
While tornadoes are more common in the spring, they can still occur in December. Tornadoes bring high winds that can tear off roofs, break windows, and damage building exteriors, sometimes causing substantial structural issues for commercial properties.
Coastal Storms and Nor’easters
Coastal storms and occasional nor’easters can impact the area with heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding. These conditions can lead to water intrusion and further damage to building structures.
Freezing Temperatures and Winter Storms
While rare, cold snaps can occur in December, causing pipes to freeze and potentially burst. Burst pipes often lead to extensive water damage inside commercial properties, which can be costly to repair.
By staying prepared for winter storms, businesses in Loris can reduce potential damage and recover more efficiently if storms strike.
