Living and working in Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, Dania Beach, Hollywood, Broward County, FL, and the surrounding areas means that we usually have to deal with strong storms and hurricanes, and when they strike commercial buildings, damage can often be the result. Once the storm has passed, it is very important to get your commercial roof inspected and any repairs scheduled with Commercial Roofing Industries. The longer that you wait for this inspection and to have any repairs done to your commercial roof, the more likely it is that further damage will accumulate, making the problem larger and more expensive. In really bad damage cases, water intrusion can happen and cause structural damage to the building as well as interior property damage that will also need to be repaired. Contact us right away after a storm for your inspection and repair service.
Common Hurricane Roof Damage
We all hope that we don’t have to deal with any after-storm cleanup, but the reality is that we will, and this is the perfect time to do our own inspection of our commercial roof. There are different signs that you can spot after a storm or hurricane that will indicate that you need at least minor roof repairs, and in some cases they are larger. Your visual inspection will start with ponding water on the roof and if you see any of these that means that you may have drainage issues and this water pooling can cause further damage to the roofing membrane.
Other things to look for include places where the roofing membrane has torn or even uplifted from the high winds. Around different items on the roof, like air conditioning units, there is flashing, and any damage to this flashing needs to be addressed. And of course, any time that there is a branch or other material that has punctured the roofing membrane, this needs to be addressed as quickly as possible.
How We Help Prevent Further Damage
By leaving these issues and not correcting them, your commercial building can experience further damage to the structure, as well as water damage to property inside the building. Our team can perform emergency roof tarping if needed to keep further wind and rain out. We can also perform leak detection of your commercial roof and execute storm damage repairs as quickly as possible. Our inspections can also help with insurance claims for your commercial building.
Keeping your commercial roof in good shape in Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, Dania Beach, Hollywood, Broward County, FL, and the surrounding areas, especially after a strong storm, is important to prevent other damage from happening, especially to the structure of the building.
