Prepare Your Roof for Fall With a Commercial Roof Inspection

Your commercial roof is essential, sheltering you, your employees, and your customers from the elements and increasing the structural integrity of your building. It’s important to take care of your roof proactively to prevent major problems and keep it strong for years to come. Ideally, a commercial roof inspection should be done on an annual basis. This way, you’ll be able to spot small issues before they become worse and do any lasting damage.

One of the best times for an inspection is at the end of summer to address everything before snow and ice get to your roof. But what are some of the best ways to prepare your commercial roof for fall and winter?

The Value of Commercial Roof Care

Inspecting your commercial roof and conducting small fixes and repairs is valuable for several reasons:

Preventing Larger Problems

If you catch a small issue and you fix it quickly, you can prevent it from spiraling into a much bigger problem.

Anticipating Snow

Seattle is no stranger to snowfall, and snow can wreak havoc on a weak roof. Now is your chance to make sure your roof can hold up to the elements.

Increasing Safety

A roof in good condition is a safe roof that can protect everyone inside your building.

Saving Money

Inspections and maintenance do cost some money, but they’ll save you more money in the long run, since they prevent many issues that could lead to expensive repairs.

Get a Commercial Roof Inspection

Roofing contractors in Seattle can come out to your business and conduct a full commercial roof inspection. These professionals will thoroughly inspect your roof, provide cleaning services for it as well as your drainage systems, and even check the interior of your building for potential leaks.

If they find any significant issues during this inspection, they’ll let you know and offer to fix those issues for an estimated price. If you do find any problems, you’ll have the chance to correct them before they can do any real damage to your building. If you don’t find issues, you can rest assured knowing that your roof is in great condition.

How To Prepare Your Commercial Roof for Fall

Even if you don’t get a commercial roof inspection, there are several important steps you’ll need to take to prepare your commercial roof for fall:

Clean Your Drainage Systems

It’s also important to clean out all your drainage systems, including your gutters. Drainage systems are designed to allow water to flow down and out; however, over time, they can become clogged with leaves and other forms of debris. If you don’t clean these out periodically, they can result in ice dams that have the potential to seriously damage your roof.

Clean the Roof

It’s a good idea to clean the roof, especially if you haven’t done so in a while. Getting rid of extra debris will prevent certain risks and allow your roof to drain water properly.

Look for Any Potential Leaks

Before winter, it’s also a good idea to look for any potential leaks inside of your business. Do you notice any drips, wet spots, or markings that indicate a leak? This is your opportunity to catch leaks and fix them at the source.

Conduct a Visual Inspection

Even if you’re afraid of heights, it’s important to conduct a visual inspection of your roof. This is the only way to determine whether it has sustained significant damage from passing storms in the spring and summer.

Assess the Age and Overall Condition of the Roof

It’s a good idea to consider the age and overall condition of your roof as well. If the building is older and you’ve had to schedule many roof repairs in the past, it might be time to consider fully replacing your commercial roof.

Start Planning an Inspection

A commercial roof inspection isn’t a one-time responsibility; it’s something you have to schedule regularly. If you want to stay on top of things, it’s a good idea to start making plans for your next inspection. Can you set a reminder for yourself next fall?
