Happy January 2024! We’ve been in the deep freeze for several weeks around here. With some snow, ice and wind that has made outdoor activity MISERABLE. Some of our Montana, South Dakota and Iowa friends have been sending us time and temp pictures that make our -5 look like child’s play.So…while hanging out by the stove and letting hounds out and in…I’ve been thinking about inspections. More accurately the potential for problems on our structures that freeze/thaw cycles and expanding ice cover can bring. We are very familiar with pipe separation and leaning inlets following extreme winter weather. While now is not the time to be out and about…it is a great time to be planning for spring inspections. Gathering files, rereading recent inspection reports, mapping an efficient route, checking equipment and lining up any additional assistance you need..can all be done indoor while avoiding this wide spread cold. So take heart, warmer temperatures are on the way (we’re up to 33 today🥶😅) and Spring inspections are just around the corner! ... See MoreSee Less
