Roof Inspections Prior to Snow Season
Seasonal roof inspections are an excellent way to stay on top of roof maintenance, and allows contractors the opportunity to ensure any small damage that has accrued won’t turn into a much larger problem. Before the snow begins, have a contractor with DeMarco Inc. perform an in-depth roof inspection. We will check structural integrity, step flashing, gutters, look for leaks, check ventilation, and provide a general inspection of the entire roof. This gives us insight into what crucial repairs need to be done prior to the change in weather and gives us time to find a time that works for your schedule.

Gutter Maintenance for Commercial Properties
One task that is especially important to prepare for the winter season is gutter maintenance. Having your gutters checked for damage and clogs reduces the chance that your building will accrue further damage during winter snow storms. Broken gutters can result in unnecessary leaks on the roof, especially if snow is melting along the warm commercial roof, or on days when the temperature is above freezing and the snow melts into water. Having a roofing contractor check for problems with your gutters and conduct standard commercial roof repairs should be done before every winter. Be sure to stay on top of commercial roof maintenance by scheduling a professional roofing contractor inspection today.
Cleaning Gutters Before Winter
Gutters can cause serious issues during cold winter months, especially if they haven’t properly cleaned prior to the freezing weather. Debris can always build up in gutters, but it is especially common during autumn when leaves may find their way onto your commercial roof. When gutters get backed up with debris water and snow can become easily backed up. As the temperature fluctuates and freezes, water and snow will cling to leaves and other debris and turn to ice. This isn’t safe as ice buildup can become too heavy and damage your gutters. By taking care of any problems with your gutters before winter weather begins ensures your gutters are working properly and are safe. The buildup of snow and ice in gutters can also keep melting snow from draining off your roof, which may result in leaks and other roofing problems.
Prevent Leaks from Entering Your Commercial Roof
During the more intense months of winter weather, problems can easily arise for commercial roofs that haven’t received proper maintenance. Leaks, damaged ventilation, problems with step flashing, and other roofing damage can result in water entering the interior property. When water leaks into the commercial building it can cause water damage to walls, it can deduce the effectiveness of insulation, and can result in needing building repairs. Having a commercial roof contractor inspect your roof and make necessary repairs can greatly reduce the chance that your building will face water damage and other issues during winter. If you need to prepare your commercial roof for the cold weather season, reach out to DeMarco Inc. and plan an inspection!
