Here are some straightforward ways to protect your business from this intense summer rain:
- Waterproofing: This is an easy way to ensure your roof does not get damaged by the rain. Since there are many ways to waterproof roofs, professionals are always the best to contact when considering this option.
- Monitoring: The roof is important to keep an eye on. Especially before and after storms, checking for any tears or buckles in the shingles will confirm whether or not your roof is protected by the rain.
- Gutters: This one seems obvious but it’s worth mentioning. Gutters take all the water away from your roof and property. These are necessary for any property and should regularly be cleaned and maintained to ensure effective protection from the rain.
- Vents: Roofing vents also need to be maintained and contacting a professional is the easiest and most effective way of doing this.
- Fix leaks: If water drips into your business, you need to inspect the roof immediately. Check for any leaks and fix them by calling a professional. Roofs typically need to be replaced every 15 years, and while it can be costly, it’s worth the cost of protecting your space.
- Tree trimming: Large branches can often puncture roof tiles and shingles. Trimming those branches back is a simple, cost effective way of protecting your roof.
The rain in the summer is often as intense as the heat. Staying on top of how water affects your roof can protect you and your business. If your business is located in the trans-Atlantic area in Virginia, give Shencorp a call today to get started. We always recommend applying protective coatings to your roof; it will save you time and money in the future. Let us help you help yourself!
