Snow removal is a critical part of commercial roofing maintenance
Proper preparation of your roof is critical at any time, but the winter months raise even more concern. If a roof collapses under heavy snow, you’ll risk building damage, productivity loss or worse, an injury to an employee.
Major issues to be considered:
- What is the current snow load on your building? With a big storm, roof weights can become a serious issue.
- Are you continuously draining your roof? Snowstorms and thawing make it critical that you clear all gutters and drains.
- Has the ice been falling? When ice forms on gutters and overhangs, there can be serious issues for anyone working at or visiting your facility
- Has snow packed around the building? Avoid moisture problems by keeping snow build-up away from outside walls.
- Is the roof leaking? Leaks can happen in unusual places, have you checked potential sources?
