It is no secret that we experience very strong storms and hurricanes living in Sunrise, Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Tamarac, Pompano Beach, FL, and the surrounding areas. And while we all know that they will be coming, it is important to have our team from Commercial Roofing Industries ensure that your commercial roof is up to the challenge. While any hurricane strong enough can and will destroy a commercial roof, there are important steps that you can take to ensure that your roof is properly prepared to weather the storm. What it all comes down to is preparedness and keeping up with the regular maintenance and inspections of your commercial roof. Failing to plan for hurricane season means that you are planning on your roof to fail. Don’t let that happen by contacting us today to schedule a roof inspection.
Preventative Maintenance Yields Dividends
You will increase the odds of your commercial roof surviving the next round of storms by taking the time to have preventative maintenance performed on your roof. This all starts with a roof inspection where our team will review every inch of your commercial roof. We will be looking for cracks in your roof, areas where wind is already getting underneath some of the roofing membrane, as well as checking for how water is draining off from your roof.
What appear to be only minor issues, such as small tears in the roofing material, or loose flashing around a roof protrusion, can quickly become a major failure point during a strong storm or hurricane. Any of these small issues are best cleaned up and dealt with during the nice weather. When the storm hits, there won’t be a way for that minor issue to become a major headache.
Look Around Your Property for Sources of Potential Damage
While making sure that your roofing material is up to snuff, it is also important to look around your property for things that can negatively affect your roof. Clearing away branches of any size will ensure that they cannot be picked up and carried around, potentially penetrating or scratching your roof. If you have tall trees or branches near your building, consider trimming them back. And make sure that you have proper water drainage from your roof to prevent ponds from forming.
By taking these steps above in Sunrise, Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Tamarac, Pompano Beach, FL, and the surrounding areas, you will be helping to minimize the risk of having your commercial roof fail at the worst possible time. Commercial Roofing Industries would rather help you to do preventative maintenance now versus dealing with a half torn off roof after a major storm.
