Hurricanes are violent storms that can rage across Broward County, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Plantation, Pompano Beach, Deerfield, FL, and the surrounding areas. When they do, you will need to do a post-storm inspection of your commercial roof, and our team at Commercial roofing Industries is ready to mobilize as soon as the storm has passed. Each hurricane that comes through provides the opportunity to learn something new regarding preparing for a hurricane, as well as cleaning up after the storm. Because of the high winds and large amounts of water, water intrusion prevention is an important aspect to keep in mind. While you may not see the damage because it is underneath the roofing materials, when water is forced into cracks and crevices, you can have unseen damage that can lead to unplanned failure of the roof. Contact us today for important post-storm inspections and repairs.
Building Codes Are Updated Regularly
From time-to-time, different techniques are used to better secure roofing materials and the structure that supports the roof. These techniques are tested in different conditions, many of which are done in controlled environments, and this leads to changes in building codes that affect all commercial building roofs going forward. These building codes are designed to ensure the safety of people in the building, as well as to prevent the structures from failing.
Debris is a major issue with any hurricane due to the strong winds that can not only pick up and move any object not secured, but the wind can also damage and tear up unsecured roofing materials. These objects that are blown around by the storm can damage other buildings, including the roofing material, which can then fail from this sustained damage.
Skilled Inspectors and Installers Are Crucial
The importance of commercial roof inspectors cannot be overstated when it comes to post-storm repairs and maintenance. Our inspectors are the first line of defense after a storm to help identify areas where damage has occurred and to document this so that appropriate repairs or replacements can be made. The roofing installers are just as important, because installing your commercial roof properly can result in minimal repairs post-storm and will ensure the entire structure remains sound.
Storms will continue to be a part of life in Broward County, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Plantation, Pompano Beach, Deerfield, FL, and the surrounding areas, and that means that taking the time to have your commercial roof inspected and repaired as soon as possible is important. Commercial Roofing Industries has decades of experience helping commercial building owners understand where the problem areas are on their roofs and providing expert installation and maintenance crews.
