Vancouver commercial roof preparation for the coming fall

If you haven’t yet scheduled your annual commercial roof inspection and preventative maintenance, do it soon. It’s a busy time for Vancouver commercial roofing companies. This is not a service you want to forgo at this time of year. Being proactive now will save you money when it comes to your total roof costs.

Right now is the time to ensure your roof is working optimally and free from problems as we head into fall. The weather in Vancouver has been relatively dry and stable throughout the summer, but fall is when things change. Whipping winds and non-stop rain exacerbate any issues your roof has developed. Leaving them unchecked risks increasing your repair costs substantially. Worst case scenarios require a total roof replacement totalling tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You’ll want to ensure your gutters and downspouts are free from clogs. Flashing needs to be secure and all seals need to be intact. Ballast requires even distribution to be effective on BUR roofs and membrane punctures need to be repaired on rubber roofs. Insulation needs to be checked and pooling or ponding water must be addressed. Rips, tears, holes, cracks and bubbles only get larger once freezing weather gets here due to the thermal freeze/thaw cycle.

There are other issues to be aware of. A local Vancouver commercial roofing company maintenance team knows what to look for. They will clear off existing debris, perform a full inspection and make crucial repairs. Your roof will be sealed up tight just in time for the rainy season.
