Summer weather brings sunshine, long days—and the threat of sudden, severe storms. For facility managers, the warmer months are a high-stakes season. Flooding, roof damage, power outages, and water intrusion can all derail operations and endanger property if you’re not prepared.
That’s where we come in.
At RKB Facility Solutions, we understand how unpredictable summer storms can be—and how critical fast, professional support is to keeping your facility safe and operational. Whether you’re preparing for a potential storm or recovering from one, our national team is on standby to support you every step of the way.
Step 1: Prepare Before the Storm Hits
The best way to handle a storm is to be ready long before the clouds roll in. Proactive planning helps minimize damage, protect your team, and reduce downtime. RKB offers pre-storm facility support to make sure nothing gets overlooked.
Pre-Storm Preparation Services Include:
- Exterior Inspections: Checking for vulnerabilities on roofs, windows, and doors
- Clearing Gutters & Drains: Preventing water buildup and flash flooding
- Emergency System Checks: Confirming generators, lights, and alarms are functioning
- Sand Bag Installation: Strategic flood prevention for entryways and basements
- Securing Loose Objects: Outdoor furniture, signage, and materials are anchored
These preventative steps can save you thousands in damages—and hours in recovery time.
Step 2: Count on RKB During the Storm
If a storm causes damage, the clock starts ticking. Quick action is essential to protecting your people, assets, and operations.
That’s why RKB offers 24/7 emergency services, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. Our national network of certified technicians can quickly reach your location, assess the damage, and take immediate steps to secure your site.
RKB’s Core Storm Services
We don’t just show up. We show up with the right tools, expertise, and commitment to quality work.
🛠️ Emergency Board-Up
If doors or windows are compromised, we act fast to secure your property. Emergency board-up prevents further weather exposure and keeps your facility safe from looting or unauthorized access.
🏚️ Roof Repairs
Storms often lead to sudden roof leaks or structural issues. We provide urgent roof patching and repairs to stop water intrusion and prevent further damage.
🧱 Sand Bag Installation
Don’t wait for flooding to start before taking action. Our teams can install sandbags around vulnerable areas like entrances, dock doors, and basement-level windows to minimize water damage.
🧹 Cleanup and Restoration
Debris, broken materials, soaked carpeting—storm damage is messy. We handle the full cleanup and restore the interior and exterior of your building to a safe, functional state.
💧 Water Extraction and Drying
One of the biggest risks after a storm is lingering moisture. RKB uses high-grade equipment to extract water, dry affected areas, and prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
