Winter Weatherization for Commercial Roofs
Ensuring Your Roof's Winter Readiness
Winter weatherization for commercial roofs is a crucial service that prepares roofs to withstand the harsh conditions of winter. It involves a comprehensive inspection and maintenance process to address the unique challenges posed by cold weather, such as the expansion and contraction of roofing materials due to temperature fluctuations.
Whether you hire a commercial roofing expert to conduct your routine winter weatherization inspections or it’s left up to your in-house building property manager, the points below highlight what a thorough inspection should include.
Key elements of a thorough winter weatherization checklist
Comprehensive Roof Inspections
A comprehensive inspection should include expert contractors conducting thorough autumn inspections, focusing on membranes, flashings, drains, and gutters, to identify potential issues.
Addressing Expansion and Contraction
Temperature fluctuations cause roofs to expand and contract, leading to damage. We assess and prepare roofs, particularly those with black rubber membranes, for these temperature swings.
Gutter and Drain Maintenance
Cleared gutters and drains are crucial for the amount of water that will come from snow and ice melting on the roof.
Membrane Care
Before winter, always inspect and repair small tears or pinholes in your roof membrane by checking the roof seams and making sure they are solid, intact, and ready to handle the elements. Ignored, these can worsen under winter snow and ice.

Snow Removal Strategies
After inspecting your roof, we will discuss areas that need to be cleared after snow storms and can provide pricing for us to handle the snow removal for you.
