Property management
works well with a sensible plan.  
Add in the annual Caribbean storm component and that plan must become a strategy of periodic inspection and continuous maintenance.

Although that sounds suspiciously like a full time job, quality materials and a plan to divert offending storm elements will drastically reduce the work load.

Wind and water are by far
the major culprits when a storm hits.

The wind swirls and attacks a building’s points of resistance, lifting and tearing roof sheeting, loose screws and poorly constructed framing and coverings.

The rain flows endlessly into gutters and downpipes, and if not directed away from the building, will eat away at cracks in masonry and undermine walls, foundations and inadequate runoff drains.

Any uncontrolled water both from neighbouring properties as well as your own, can drag uncleared debris into main drains, blocking, flooding and undermining roads, while increasing the volume of major damage.

Tropical rain, storm force winds and bad or unkept drains, both private and public, are the source of the majority of inland disasters, as they impact on all forms of property, as well as landslips.

Each of us, throughout these fragile Caribbean Islands, has a role to play in the maintenance of simple things, and, as the annual predictions change for the worse, indifference and carelessness is not an option. 

Clean drains, mended walls, drains and fences, roofing, gutters and water runoffs are the beginnings of a sensible strategy for storm survival.  If we disregard these, each instance potentially adds to the overall scale of disaster.

We recommend that, working with your neighbours, you can collectively insure that if a storm strikes, all of your homes and surroundings are secured and you have done all in your power to minimise the risks to lives and property.

At ECMIL our durable, integrated product range has been developed over 40 years, to meet those strategic needs.

From globally reliable COLORBOND® and Zincalume® roof sheeting, with state of the art accessories, to a comprehensive collection of steel fabrications which include rebar, welded mesh, nails, barbed wire, chain link fencing, poles and fittings, water tanks and wheelbarrows.

Our subsidiary company ECPIL produces PVC/CPVC pipes
and electrical conduits.

Together we can consolidate orders and ship directly to you at excellent ex-factory pricing, to make your updates and maintenance cost effective.

Sadly, our world weather patterns have evolved and ‘hurricane’ is no longer a season.

The best time to tighten up and maintain is now.

Make a plan, make a list, or engage the assistance of a local construction professional, and call our knowledgeable sales staff today.
