Post-Winter Roof Checkup: How’s Your Roof Holding Up?

Wow, what a winter we had in North America! Millions coast to coast were impacted by storms, excessive snowfall, high winds and floods. What does that mean for your roof, your building's first line of defense against the elements? There may be damage you need to address before it escalates into more significant issues. With a busy roofing season ahead of us and summer storms just a few months away, repairing and servicing your roof system after winter is paramount. Here are a few quick things to look for:

 

While self-evaluation of your roof is a quick way to determine post-winter problems, a comprehensive roof evaluation completed by an experienced, specialized commercial roofing professional is the best way to assess your roof's current state. Unfortunately, not all roof damage is immediately visible to an untrained eye. In addition, commercial roofing technicians have multiple industry-specific tools at their disposal to quickly determine hidden issues. For example, drones with thermal-imaging capabilities can locate wet insulation with just a few pictures of your facility. That means days (or weeks!) of inspection work saved. 

To stay ahead of roof leaks, schedule your comprehensive roof evaluation with us twice a year (spring and fall) and after significant weather events. We will inspect all components of your roof assembly, document all water-entry points and provide a detailed report with photographs and suggested repairs. We also offer customized roof maintenance plans to maximize your commercial roof's service life. Why customized? Because there's no one-program-fits-all in commercial roofing. With over 55 years of commercial-only work all over North America, we understand the specifics of every industry and local climate. Let's schedule your comprehensive roof evaluation and get you ready for spring and summer! This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
