Tropical Storm Debby packed a punch!
And it looks as if she will continue to do so for a few days now.
NASA - Hurricane Season 2012: Tropical Storm Debby (Atlantic Ocean/Caribbean Sea)
RoofConnect would like to suggest that once the storms have passed that you check on the vitality of your roof - even if the storm didn't cause any noticeable leaks…yet.
Roof damage can lead to extensive and expensive repairs if not addressed early. If you or your facility maintenance crew feel comfortable, you should conduct a visual inspection after the storm has passed. Things to look for:
• Debris blown onto the roof
• Equipment blown from other areas of the roof that needs to be placed back
• Clogged drains and Ponding Water
• Obvious damage to the roof
• Voids in any of the membrane laps
A helpful roof evaluation checklist can be found at the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety's web site: http://disastersafety.org/hurricane/evaluating-the-roof/
Be sure to schedule a site visit with a local, licensed and reputable roofing contractor, like RoofConnect, to confirm that your roof will to continue to perform and was not severely damaged via the storm.
As always, RoofConnect can help in an emergency…Before, during and after the storm:
