How Do Flat Roofs Drain?
How Do Flat Roofs Drain?
Few things can be as stressful and hazardous as hurricane season for a commercial property owner. You hope that you have taken every precaution to ensure the integrity of the commercial roof, protecting your business, its assets, and the ability of your employees to earn a living and provide for their loved ones. It is a heavy burden to carry, but it is one that Weather is here to help you manage. Our staff is just a call away to discuss in more detail these vital steps you can take when hurricane-proofing your roof and provide the expert services needed to ensure it is well-prepared for all that Mother Nature sends your way.
Regular Roof Inspections by Weather
While it sounds overly simple, making a call to the skilled and dedicated team at Weather is the best way to protect your business and commercial property from hurricane damage. We recommend two roof inspections each year. The first should be before the hazards increase with the arrival of hurricane season. During this visit, our staff will look for any indications of weakening in the roof and its components. Special attention is invested in examining:
The roof surface for loose or missing shingles, damage to any other roofing surface, or signs of excessive wear that could compromise the integrity of the roof’s surface and waterproof capability
The flashing and seams of the roof will be carefully inspected for rust, damage, or other signs of deterioration
The attic or underside of your roof will also be carefully evaluated to ensure there are no indications of previous water leaks or damage that could compromise the roof or its support structure in the event of high wind or a hurricane
If our pros discover any signs of a potential issue, we will immediately provide you with options to eliminate the possible hazards and ensure the function of your commercial roof before hurricane season arrives in Florida.
The second roof inspection of the year should be after hurricane season to ensure that any damage or issues caused by the harsh weather are addressed quickly and with a professional solution to ensure your commercial roof’s longevity.
Consider Beefing Up the Strength of Your Roof
If you are considering a new roof or replacing part or all of the roof on your commercial property, give some consideration to reinforced materials. Innovative processes that include metal rods, concealed fasteners, and concealed adhesives add to the roof’s strength without detracting from its visual appeal.
In addition, these added features that are hidden from view are also more protected from the degradation that comes with exposure to sunlight and other environmental challenges. Ask your Weather expert to explain how these additions can add to the strength and durability of your commercial roof.
Provide Complete Maintenance for Your Property
Taking great care of your entire commercial property can also increase the life expectancy of your roof. These simple tasks will eliminate the challenges and hazards that could add to the stress a hurricane puts on your roof:
Address Landscape Issues: The damage caused to your roof by the impact of loose branches and landscape debris can be devastating. Ensure that your landscape is healthy and sturdy before hurricane season to prevent trees from falling onto your roof or becoming airborne debris that will damage the waterproof surface of the roof.
Gutter Maintenance: Ensure any gutters or scuppers that provide drainage from the roof’s surface are functional. Allowing water to stand on the roof or seep under the edge of the roof can degrade the support structure of the roof and the roof’s surface, making it more susceptible to hurricane damage.
Rapidly Address Any Roof Issue: Rapidly Address Any Roof Issue: If you see damage to your roof or suspect it suffered damage due to a storm or other issues, please contact Weather immediately. Fast roof repairs are the best way to minimize the damage to your roof and commercial building and keep repair costs as reasonable as possible.
