Storm season is approaching, and commercial property owners in the Southeast know the risks all too well. With high winds, driving rain, hail, and the risk of flying debris, the integrity of every commercial roof is put to the test. Forecasts predict another busy hurricane season in 2025, meaning that it is crucial to prepare your roof early to mitigate damage. This preparation isn’t optional, it’s essential to safeguarding your assets and maintaining uninterrupted operations.

Inspect Your Roof 

Regularly inspecting your roof is your first line of defense against storm damage. Spotting problems early will prevent minor issues from turning into expensive repairs. Pay special attention to: 

  • The flashing around roof edges, vents, and skylights for any cracks or gaps. 
  • The roofing membrane or shingles for punctures, blisters, or general wear and tear. 
  • Roof anchors, fasteners, and equipment mounts to ensure they are secure. 
  • Inspect interior ceilings and attics for signs of leaks or water stains. 

Ross Services employs infrared scanning and drone-assisted surveys to detect hidden moisture pockets and ensure a complete evaluation. We document all findings and prioritize repairs based on risk and cost-effectiveness.

Prepare Before the Storm Hits

Taking proactive steps can dramatically reduce the risk and intensity of storm damage. Before the storms hit, take these important steps: 

  • Clear all debris from rooftops and gutters to ensure unimpeded water flow. 
  • Trimming overhanging trees and limbs to prevent branches from falling on or ripping into your room. 
  • Remove or secure any loose items inside the building that high winds or hail could send flying onto the roof. 
  • Check exterior lighting, signage, and electrical connections for weatherproofing to prevent shorts during heavy rain. 
  • Repair or replace compromised sections in the membrane with high-quality patches, primers, and sealants that meet manufacturer specifications. 

These steps help ensure proper water flow and reduce the risk of ponding, which is a common precursor to leaks and structural stress on roofing components. Reinforcing vulnerable areas not only prevents leaks but also helps maintain your roof warranty and extends its service life.
