Winter can wreak havoc upon your commercial building, especially the roof. With spring just around the corner, it’s the time of year to start preparing your commercial roofing for heavy rain showers. Any damage that occurred during the winter could leave your office vulnerable to leaks and flooding. Below are a few seasonal maintenance tips to ensure the roof is ready to take on the upcoming months. 

3 Roof Maintenance Tips to Get Ready for Spring

1. Check for Damage

Snow and heavy winds can cause damage to your roof, including the flashing and caulking. Inspect the ceilings of your commercial building for water stains, peeling paint, or musty odors; any of these signs may indicate a leak or hole in your roof that should be addressed right away.  

2. Clean Debris from Your Gutters

Remove any debris, such as leaves, twigs, and branches, from your gutters and downspouts. If water backs up onto your roof, the moisture can seep in and damage the interior of your building. It could then create a breeding ground for mold and mildew and also attract insects.   

3. Schedule an Inspection

Even if you don’t find any evidence of roof damage, schedule a routine inspection of your commercial roofing. Professional contractors have the experience and equipment to conduct a thorough evaluation of your roof. They can make any necessary repairs before the spring showers begin.
