Five Fact Friday

It's that time again...Five Fact Friday brought to you by RoofConnect's Technical Services Department.

Effective communication is key in maintaining customer relationships and potentially more important than the actual work being performed.

There is not “one size fits all” roof application.  Each opportunity must be evaluated and fitted with the appropriate roof for the location, configuration, size, and use of the building.

Remember:  The lowest price does not necessarily result in saving money.  Hire the person who is most knowledgeable about the project, not the one with the lowest price.

A scheduled inspection program for rooftop drainage and waterways is critical to positive roof performance and structural integrity.

When considering a solar installation, it is essential to include a roofing professional and roofing manufacturer in your discussions with the solar integrator.  Together they can make sure your roofing continues to perform and your building contents are protected during and after the solar installation.

Happy 2014 - Prepare Roof for Storm Hercules!

Start the new year right - be prepared for Storm Hercules and excessive snowfall.

Now is a crucial time to evaluate your roofs and enact your winter emergency and snow removal action plan. As a preventive measure, it is good to have a yearly assessment of your roof to make sure there are no underlying repairs that need to be done prior to a heavy snow. It’s important to understand the risk that snow and ice accumulation poses, and it’s even more important to secure proper snow and ice removal from a reputable roofing company, like RoofConnect...before the storm, before all resources are allocated.

In the event of any winter storms, snowfall can be monitored, measured and assessed to determine whether or not it exceeds your roof’s weight capacity, and when it does, it is important to remove immediately.

Even when snow or ice accumulation does not exceed your roof’s weight capacity, drifting and wind can cause unanticipated roof failures or leaks. Furthermore, snow and ice melt-off can freeze and block drainage systems.

RoofConnect Five major items of review should be considered for winter Commercial Roof Maintenance:
1. Current Snow Load on Your Building. With snow storm followed by snow storm, roof weights can become an item of serious concern. We want to ensure that this doesn't happen at any of your locations.

2. Proper and Continuous Roof Drainage. Accumulating snows coupled with thawing and then refreezing make it critical that you clear all drains, gutters and scuppers. Every winter buildings collapse due to poor roof drainage.

3. Ice buildup and Falling Ice. Ice formations form on gutters and overhangs that can cause serious concerns to customers, employees and other visitors to your facilities. Ice buildup must be addressed to prevent injuries and damage at your facilities.

4. Snow Packs Around Building. Often times snow plowing causes snow build up against the exterior walls. Moving snow away from the exterior walls can avoid moisture problems inside your building.

5. Roof Leaks and Water Infiltration. Snow and ice build up on your roof can cause leaks in unusual sources. Snow build up around unit fans and over the height of roof flashings can cause leaks into the building creating hazards.

RoofConnect utilizes our vast network of experienced Roofing Technicians for your winter related roofing needs, ensuring there is no long term damage to your roof system. 

Don’t forget…Inexperienced crews can damage or destroy the roofing membrane with improper shovel or snow blower use.

RoofConnect has the experience to properly analyze, design and execute a plan to take care of any of your winter roofing needs. Please contact your RoofConnect representative today or if one is not assigned, please call 877-942-5613 or email info(@)roofconnect.com to receive immediate answers to any of your questions or roofing related winter weather roof concerns.

Prepare Roof NOW for Early Tropical Storms & Hurricanes

It's that time of year again.  Hurricane Season officially began on June 1st!

AccuWeather.com's long-range team predicts 16 named tropical storms,
eight hurricanes and four major hurricanes for the
2013 Atlantic hurricane season. Of these, three are predicted to
make landfall in the United States.

Proper analysis of your roofs is critical in any season, but hurricane season raises even more concerns.  Hurricanes cause damage in a variety of ways through strong winds, storm surges, flooding and tornadoes.  Early preparation and regular roof maintenance is essential so that your roofs are protected against the hurricanes arriving this season and beyond. Careful installation practices and annual maintenance can make a significant difference in a roof’s hurricane preparedness. 

Here are a few of the things you should check to make sure your properties roofs are better prepared to survive a hurricane.


TO DO...Now:

• Schedule RoofConnect to perform your roof’s annual maintenance if you have not done so already. 
• Take care of regular roof maintenance concerns now to prevent any additional damage.
• RoofConnect will create a proper plan to meet specific needs at each site. 
• Train your property management staff now – educating during a hurricane warning can be stressful.
• Take photographs or video of your establishments inside and out, from all angles. This will help to substantiate insurance claims later.
• Regularly clean drains, gutters and downspouts of your buildings.
• RoofConnect can verify that all permanent rooftop equipment is secure.  - Improperly secured machinery causes membrane separation & leaks.
• Determine and acquire emergency equipment and supplies to have on hand in the event of a storm (e.g., heavy plastic sheeting, tie-downs for sheeting and rooftop equipment, duct tape, masking tape, sandbags, emergency generator, storm shutters, large pieces of plywood, hand tools and other essential items).

TO DO...When a Hurricane Watch is Issued:

• Check and secure equipment on rooftops – HVAC equipment, ventilation piping, exhaust fans and vents must be secured to the roof – these things can become missiles!
• Remove loose objects, loose gravel and debris from the roof. 
• Bring in display racks and other objects usually left outside. 
• Remove antennas, outdoor signs, especially those that swing or are portable.
• Close all doors and secure all windows. A RICOWI (Roofing Industry Committee on Weather Issues) study found that a surprising number of roof failures were due to doors and windows that had been left open or shattered.  When high speed winds entered buildings through these spaces, roofs can be compromised.

RoofConnect Can Help:

• Safety is always first and foremost. 
• A proper plan is executed with you to meet specific needs at each site.  
• All Federal and local guidelines must be followed to protect all personnel before entering the disaster zone and while on site. 
• Proper documentation is always provided at project close out.
• We work with you to solve your emergency quickly; our work and materials meet the standards of insurance coverage claims.

Tips for After a Hurricane from FEMA 

  ·      Continue listening to a NOAA Weather Radio or the local news for the latest updates.

  ·      Stay alert for extended rainfall and subsequent flooding even after the hurricane or tropical storm has ended.

  ·      If you have become separated from your family, use your family communications plan or contact FEMA or the   American Red Cross.

  ·      FEMA has established the National Emergency Family Registry and Locator System (NEFRLS), which has been developed to help reunite families who are separated during a disaster. The NEFRLS system will enable displaced individuals the ability to enter personal information into a website database so that they can be located by others during a disaster.

  ·      The American Red Cross also maintains a database to help you find family. Contact the local American Red Cross chapter where you are staying for information. Do not contact the chapter in the disaster area.

  ·      If you evacuated, return home only when officials say it is safe.

  ·      If you cannot return home and have immediate housing needs. Text SHELTER + your ZIP code to 43362 (4FEMA) to find the nearest shelter in your area (example: shelter 12345).

  ·      For those who have longer-term housing needs, FEMA offers several types of assistance, including services and grants to help people repair their homes and find replacement housing. Apply for assistance or search for information about housing rental resources

  ·      Drive only if necessary and avoid flooded roads and washed¬ out bridges. Stay off the streets. If you must go out watch for fallen objects; downed electrical wires; and weakened walls, bridges, roads, and sidewalks.

  ·      Keep away from loose or dangling power lines and report them immediately to the power company.

  ·      Walk carefully around the outside your home and check for loose power lines, gas leaks and structural damage before entering.

  ·      Stay out of any building if you smell gas, floodwaters remain around the building or your home was damaged by fire and the authorities have not declared it safe.

  ·      Inspect your home for damage. Take pictures of damage, both of the building and its contents, for insurance purposes. If you have any doubts about safety, have your residence inspected by a qualified building inspector or structural engineer before entering.

  ·      Use battery-powered flashlights in the dark. Do NOT use candles. Note: The flashlight should be turned on outside before entering - the battery may produce a spark that could ignite leaking gas, if present.

  ·      Watch your pets closely and keep them under your direct control. Watch out for wild animals, especially poisonous snakes. Use a stick to poke through debris.

  ·      Avoid drinking or preparing food with tap water until you are sure it’s not contaminated.

  ·      Check refrigerated food for spoilage. If in doubt, throw it out.

  ·      Wear protective clothing and be cautious when cleaning up to avoid injury.

  ·      Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

  ·      NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, sheds, or similar areas, even when using fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these areas and can linger for hours, even after the generator has shut off.

Marriage Proposal by Rooftop ‽

Create Fall Proposals for Roofing in order to set the date for budgets in the spring!



This picture of a roofing marriage proposal was captured on Google Maps.  Now, only a roofer would find this proposal completely un-romantic because the love smitten guy just created a headache for the roofer and building owner.  However, it does bring up a very important point for roofing asset management.  Roofing proposals that will require higher budgeting approval should be turned in before the winter months and upcoming spring rains.  

Here are some suggestions for a successful fall proposal.

1. Review the warranty documents on the roof and contact the manufacturer or a manufacturer approved roofer to conduct the annual inspection. If you are going to have to pay for an inspection, you might as well get credit for it and potentially reap the benefits of an extended warranty or have the roofer identify cost saving warranty repairs.  This will also be an excellent tool for real estate professionals that are looking to buy, sell or lease the building in the next year.  As buildings and portfolios change hands, a comprehensive roofing assessment with a manufacturer warranty report will help the budgeting process in the next year. 

2. Instruct your roofer to assess the entire roof in the Fall proposal.  If the assessment is comprehensive, then a facility manager can look like a budgeting genius.  The roofer should identify potential expenditures and prioritize the spend by category:  Immediate, 90 days, or annual.  It is important to track the maintenance history of the roof in this pattern.  “Entire roof” includes: exterior walls, interior roof deck, ceilings (stains, drips etc.), roof edges, interior walls, fascia & coping, expansion joints, field of roof membrane condition, penetrations, metal equipment and fixtures, drainage systems, base flashings, HVAC units and all mechanical devices, general roof issues (or marriage proposals!).

3. Partner with your manufacturer and your roofing management company.  Good marriages are based on clear communication and trust.  Partnering with a reputable roofing company and respected manufacturer will enhance the total roof performance and the success of the maintenance budgeting process.  

Manufacturers and Roofers are setting their production calendars for the upcoming year and committing to a project or maintenance schedule in advance will often result in significant savings to the property manager.

RoofConnect is a nationally respected roofing services company.  RoofConnect has successfully managed thousands of proposals and maintenance programs.  Please give us a call!  We would love the opportunity to help you with a Fall inspection and proposal.  

Say "YES" to annual roof maintenance with RoofConnect - It will be a lasting relationship you will not regret!

Be prepared - Isaac on track to impact

RoofConnect would like to remind you of things you can do now to prepare for damaging wind and rain.

Isaac Slowly Strengthening

"The eye of Isaac is evident on satellite and the National Hurricane Center is forecasting the storm to strengthen into a hurricane by Tuesday. The forecast track takes him over New Orleans Tuesday afternoon or evening."

Tropical Storm & Hurricane Preparedness: Are your roofs ready? Are you Ready?

Evaluate your roofs and prepare a plan of action before the next Tropical Storm or Hurricane mounts an assault.  Now a crucial time to evaluate your roofs and prepare a plan of action. 

Careful installation practices and annual maintenance can make a significant difference in a roof’s hurricane preparedness. Here are a few of the things you should check to make sure your properties are prepared to survive a hurricane.

How to maximize a commercial roof warranty

RoofConnect advises: How to maximize a commercial roof warranty

First and foremost, keep records of your warranties and understand what the warranty does and does not cover and for how long.

• If you are not tracking your warranties then have your roofing contractor track the warranty for you.  Most quality roofing contractors have this capability. 
• Read the warranty and ensure that you understand what you have bought. 
• Know the common warrantable problems for the roof type in which you have installed.  With single ply systems (PVC, TPO and EPDM ), the most common problem is open seams.
• Know the difference between “material warranty” and “material and labor warranty”. Contractors usually guarantee against defects caused by the labor for no more than two years, while manufacturers warrant their materials for 10 to 20 years. 

Explore potential ways to extend your warranty for minimal cost

• Find out if your roofing manufacturer offers a warranty extension for a preventative maintenance program.  A preventative maintenance program is always recommended to extend the life and if you get a longer warranty period then it is easier to justify the cost.
• Discuss options with both the installing contractor and the manufacturer to maximize the life of your warranty.

Do not void your warranty

• There are numerous disclaimers in terms of coverage and requirements to prevent the voiding of the document, including lack of notification of issues and the requirement that only approved contractors certified to repair their systems be allowed to make changes.  Contractors usually guarantee against defects caused by their labor for no more than two years, while manufacturers warrant their materials for no more than 10 to 20 years.
• Even using incompatible caulking or mastic can also void the warranty and leave the building owner stuck with the cost.

More information about roofing manufacture warranties can be found on the RoofConnect web site at http://www.roofconnect.com/manufacture-warranty-support.html


RoofConnect Warranty & Non-Warranty Service Program 

• RoofConnect is approved to perform warranty repairs by all major roofing manufacturers.

A HOT June...did you have extra Foot Traffic on your Roof?

It was a strange June this year, one of the hottest Junes on record!   http://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/comment.html?entrynum=80


As a result of this extreme heat, our AC units have been working overtime to keep us cool and our buildings cool.  Extensive use of the units usually requires additional maintenance, which means more foot traffic on your roof asset. 


If your rooftop units need a checkup, maybe your roof could use some attention as well.


Punctures usually occur because of carelessness on the part of people visiting the roof: HVAC technicians, window washers, etc. Punctures can also occur because of debris left behind by these other trades, blown or tossed on the roof. 


Take time now to do some preventative maintenance on your roofs!


Some other good reminders about proactive roof maintenance: http://www.roofconnect.com/repairs-a-proactive-maintenance.html

Severe weather hit Texas and many parts of the country yesterday

Roof Connect has service locations throughout Texas. We are here for you and can help evaluate any potential hail damage to your commercial roofs.



RoofConnect can inspect your roof for potential hail damage from recent storms.


It is important to identify damage from a hail storm quickly to ensure payment from your insurance providers. RoofConnect will provide pictures and estimates of any damage to your roof to properly and quickly report to your insurance company. RoofConnect will make temporary repairs on all leaks and do everything possible to keep the
inside of your building dry. Call us today to schedule an evaluation of your roofs.


Things to know and remember after a possible hail storm:
• Hail stones fracture the roofing membrane and create potential leaks throughout the roof.
• Hail is not covered as a warranty item, but can be covered by insurance with an official roofing assessment.
• Unlicensed contractors and storm chasers often charge too much for substandard repairs and assessments - which can potentially void your roof warranty!


RoofConnect Provides:
• Licensed professional technicians that can give an accurate and timely assessment of the roof.
• Manufacturer approved repairs and effective plans for leak prevention.
• Seamless interfacing with insurance companies for claims.
