So, you survived the latest hurricane to pass through Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Davie, Pompano Beach, Sunrise, FL, and the surrounding areas, and now you are out inspecting your commercial building for damage and generally cleaning up the mess. Part of your walk around includes looking at the roof outside, and while you can’t see any obvious damage, you also check inside for any leaks. This is the scenario many businesses go through, and Commercial Roofing Industries receives many calls after hurricanes to look for damage and initiate repairs. But do you really need a roof inspection after a hurricane if you don’t find any leaking? With no leaking, many people just assume that the roof is fine and move on with life. But most are also not trained in what to look for with roof damage. Contact us today to schedule your roof inspection.
It’s What You Can’t See That Can Hurt You
While looking for the obvious damage is good and needs to be done regularly, not just after storms, it can be the hidden damage that you can’t see unless you are looking for it closely that can negatively affect your building. This hidden damage can reveal itself at the worst possible time, and that usually happens at the next storm or hurricane that comes through. It can lead to part of the roof failing, poor drainage issues, and even damage to the equipment that is on the roof.
If there are pieces of your roof that are missing, this is a sign that you need to have some roof repairs, and our team will quickly find these issues and make a plan to correct them. There can also be damage to the gutters or the areas that lead to the gutters, and this can prevent rain water from properly draining, which can lead to further damage with ponding water.
Knowing Is Half the Battle
If you don’t know about the condition of your roof, how will you know if it requires repairs or maintenance, or even a replacement? In many cases, while you might think that your roof is fine, your insurance company may require an inspection to confirm that there is no damage that could lead to catastrophic failure. It is much easier to deal with issues when they are small, compared to when things go really wrong and you have an entire roof to replace after a storm.
Roof inspections should be done at least annually in Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Davie, Pompano Beach, Sunrise, FL, and the surrounding areas, and after a large hurricane it is also a good idea to have your commercial roof inspected to ensure that there is no hidden damage that could cause issues down the road. Commercial Roofing Industries can help provide you with a roof inspection and report, allowing you to take the necessary steps. Contact us today to schedule your roof inspection.
