Hurricanes are a fact of life living in Hollywood, Pompano, Sunrise, Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, and the surrounding areas here in Florida. When you have a commercial building, you want to take the right steps to ensure that you minimize any potential damage to your roof. Working with Commercial Roofing Industries, we can help you identify and correct issues that could become problematic when a hurricane does strike. A simple inspection of your commercial roof is a great place to start to identify potential issues that could become worse with a hurricane. Talk with our team today about the different things that you can do to help prepare for hurricane season.
More Than Just Your Roof Is at Risk
While it is important to make sure that your roof is sealed and secure, there are other aspects that need to be looked at to be sure that you are fully prepared to weather the storms that will be moving through the area. For many commercial buildings, there are HVAC units and other devices on the roof. These should be inspected to ensure that they are properly secured to the roof and that the wind can’t get beneath them to lift them off. This is also a great time to remove all debris that has made its way up on the roof as well, so that it doesn’t turn into flying debris in the hurricane.
If you have any trees around the building, these should be looked at with an eye of keeping them trimmed, and any dead or dying branches be removed. You should also review your insurance coverage and if you need to have any certifications done, get those in place before hurricane season starts. The last thing you want is to find out that your insurance won’t cover the damages.
Roof Inspections Find Needed Repairs
Roof inspections are the real helpful task to have done. With an inspection you can find out if there are needed repairs needed, or if the roof is needing a replacement, at least in part. With the high winds from hurricanes and other storms, they can quickly transform even small tears in commercial roofing into large gashes and cause a lot of additional damage with the blowing rain and other debris. We can provide you with an inspection report for your commercial roof so you can take action before hurricane season.
Now is the time to prepare for hurricane season before it’s too late. Take advantage of this time by talking with our team at Commercial Roofing Industries and schedule us to do a roof inspection at your commercial property in Hollywood, Pompano, Sunrise, Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, or the surrounding areas. A little bit of effort now will help keep things safe and secure when the bad weather comes later this year.
