Prepare Your Commercial Roof for Winter
The roof is one of the most important aspects of a building and weather can have a significant impact. The best line of defense is to have a relationship with a professional roofing contractor, like Wayne’s Roofing, Inc. It’s the best way to protect your roof.
A roofing contractor provides hands-on experience and knowledge of different types of roofing systems, which makes them the ideal candidate for repairing and/or maintaining your roof system.
A roof’s membrane is essential to keeping your roof dry in the Pacific Northwest. Temperature swings can be hard on a roof, especially if the roof is exposed to water, ice, or snow. Membrane damage, clogged drains, ponding water, and debris sitting on your roof, can cause major winter leaks. Many of these leaks can be avoided by having a thorough roof inspection before the winter months get underway.
Wayne’s Roofing offers emergency service for commercial buildings throughout the Puget Sound area and offers full inspections. Our skilled and detail-oriented technicians are equipped to seal/patch new roof penetrations installed on most low-slope & warranted membrane roof systems.
A proactively maintained roof has a longer lifespan (about ten more years) than a roof that is not maintained or inspected twice a year.
General Tips For Preparing Your Commercial Roof for the Winter Months
Schedule a roof inspection before the rain, snow, and freezing temperatures set in. With regular inspections, you increase the chance of catching small problems with the roof before they become larger, more difficult, and exponentially more expensive. A roof inspection, by an authorized commercial roofing contractor, is typically required for your roof warranty and will save you a lot of money by detecting any problems.
During a roof inspection, we will scrutinize the entire roof, including roof traffic patterns, drainage systems, base attachments, flashings, the possible occurrence of contaminants, moisture infiltration, and any improperly installed roof openings or faulty roof membrane seams. We’ll assure that gutters are clean and clear of debris, and there are no potential hazards, such as overhanging trees that could cause complications.
Your roof is the most critical part of your building. Professional inspection and timely repairs can reduce emergency leaks, extend the life of your roof, and even save you a total replacement.
