Why Facility Maintenance Services are a Must this Winter
Winters can be harsh for facility managers, particularly in Eastern Massachusetts, which is why facility maintenance services are vital. To ensure that the weather outside doesn’t affect the factors inside, it’s important to ensure that you have the necessary contractors in place to help prevent any issues during the frigid months.
City Wide of Boston can help match you with the right Independent Contractors to handle all of your facility’s needs so you can focus on the more important factors of managing your facility.
Ensure Safety with Exterior Facility Maintenance
Winter can pose a variety of safety risks to your team and facility occupants. Snow covered parking lots can be problematic and lead to automotive collisions or property damage. Icy sidewalks can be slick and result in injury and potential legal action.
Having the right contractors to properly salt the sidewalks and remove snow from the parking lot will help you maintain a level of safety outside your facility.
Keep the Heat on & Working
Your HVAC system is a vital component to your facility in the winter. On top of adding a level of comfort to your occupants, it helps ensure that other systems and components remain and an adequate temperature to operate efficiently. Properly heating your facility can prevent pipes from freezing, which can be a major problem down the line as the pipes can burst—causing numerous issues with your plumbing.
Having the system inspected in the beginning of winter, as well as scheduling routine checkups can ensure that your systems work properly until the warm of spring.
Preserve Structural Aesthetics and Condition
Part of your facility maintenance tasks should include preserving the aesthetics of your facility. While chipping paint or cracked walkways are merely cosmetic, other factors like a damaged roof can pose a major risk if left unchecked. Have your system thoroughly inspected to make sure that there are no signs of severe issues down the line.
Prevent the Spread of Winter Sickness
Winter is typically associated with cold and flu season, and most of those who get sick, get sick at their workplace or even school. Having the right disinfecting contractor in place to handle the disinfection of high-traffic areas, touch points, and restrooms in your facility can help you mitigate the spread germs and bacteria.
This can help reduce the number of sick days within your facility, ensuring that businesses remain functioning and fully operational.
