With winter just right around the corner, now is
the time to start thinking about winterizing your
office, restaurant, or other commercial building
in the Greater Toronto Area. There are several
areas of your building you need to winterize, as
follows

3
Weatherize around doors and windows- Install
weatherization kits around each of the doors and
windows on your building. You should also caulk
reapplied prior to installing weatherization kits.

4
Insulate and protect water lines and exterior
faucets- It is important to shut off exterior
water supply lines and faucets and remove from
the lines to prevent frozen and burst pipes. In
addition, any exposed exterior water pipes and
lines that run indoors should be insulated so
they do not freeze.

5
Winterize swimming pools- For hotels and resorts
or other commercial businesses with outdoor
swimming pools, it is important to complete
winterization before the first hard freeze.

6
Inspect your roof- Look for signs the roofing
material is cracking, breaking, or peeling up.
These can lead to water damage and roof damage
during the winter from ice and snow.

7
Get HVAC system maintenance completed- The HVAC
system on your building requires properly
shutting down and preparing AC units for winter,
as well as testing of the heating system to
ensure proper operation. This is also a great
time to have duct work inspected and install new
filters.

8
Have exterior sidewalk damage repaired- If you
have existing small cracks in the sidewalk
outside your building, get these fixed before
winter. Ice and snow will create further damage,
which could lead to accidental slips and injuries.

9
Make arrangements for snow removal- Check with
your Toronto commercial cleaning service to see
if they offer snow removal service to keep
parking lots and sidewalks clear, or if they can
make a referrer. It is best to secure service
now, instead of waiting until after the first
snow fall since it will be harder to find a
service at that time.

10
Get the gutters/eaves cleaned- During the fall,
leaves and other debris can get into the gutters
and eaves on your building. Not cleaning them can
cause problems with drainage, blockages, and
other issues where the gutter can become weighted
down once snows and potentially pull loose and
fall off

Further, backed up gutters can cause roof damage
as well as water damaged on the interior side of
exterior walls.

Have your cleaning company reverse the direction
of ceiling fans- Schedule a one-time service to
get your ceiling fans detailed cleaned and
dusted, as well as to have the direction switched
for the winter.
