Fall Roof Maintenance: Protect Your Investment Before Winter Hits!
As fall settles in, it's the perfect time to schedule preventative maintenance for your industrial or commercial roof. Regular inspections and upkeep can save you from costly repairs down the road, especially with the challenges winter weather brings.
What to Look For:
- Aging membranes & Dry rotting flashings: In the photo above, you’ll see deterioration of the roof membrane to the point where the scrim is showing—clear evidence that it’s time for action.
- Wind Damages: Catch wind damage that went undetected, which can lead to serious problems.
- Debris buildup: Leaves, branches, and other debris can clog drains and cause water to pool on the roof, accelerating membrane wear and increasing the risk of leaks.
Preventative maintenance not only extends the life of your roof but also ensures it’s ready to handle the elements. Don't wait until minor issues turn into major headaches!
Now is the time to schedule your fall inspection and keep your roof in top shape before winter hits. Call to schedule 800.713.3190
Last week, after the snow and ice finally cleared here in Dayton, Cotterman & Company Inc. completed a roof evaluation on a large warehouse facility that had recently started experiencing leaks.
As part of the inspection, a date stamp was located on the membrane: DL ’99.
That simple marking told a big story.
After severe storms rolled through the area, our Service Department was called to a local hospital to investigate new roof leaks. Cotterman & Company responded quickly and delivered solutions that protected critical facilities with no shutdowns, no delays, and no compromises.
