This month has brought sustained rain, high winds, and severe weather to the East Coast that some facilities may not have properly prepared for. Don't get caught off guard by the effects of these storms ⚠️ Below are the top 3 common weather-related roof damages you should be aware of: 1. Storm debris creates drainage issues 💧 High-speed, sustained winds from storms can carry anything from foliage and twigs to metal scraps onto your roof, causing blockages around drainage systems like drains and scuppers or membrane penetrations. 2. Wind exposes poorly installed roof systems 🌪️ Storm-level winds can expose underlying problems that property managers aren’t aware of. Unsecured roof membranes can be peeled back from these winds, opening a clear path for water and debris to enter your building and cause widespread damage if not secured immediately. 3. Ponding water creates undue stress on roof membranes 🧊 Ponding water measuring 1 inch deep across 1 square foot weighs 5 pounds. That weight compounded over an area several feet wide sitting for an extended period creates stress on the roof system. With freezing temperatures ahead in December and January, it’s essential to clear drainage routes for this water. The contraction and expansion of frozen ponding water can worsen existing cracks and penetrations. 📱 If you find yourself in need of roof service assistance this season, get connected with one of our 27 self-performing service locations here: https://lnkd.in/exHqbUFv #BakerRoofing #Since1915 #AlwaysGoodWork #roofingcompany #roofingcontractor #roofrepair #roofservice #roofmaintenance #stormdamage #roofdamage #propertymanagement #facilitymanagement #stormpreparedness
