California summer and the extreme heat it can bring is just around the corner and it can be damaging to your Los Angeles County commercial roof. Most Southern California commercial roofs are hit hard by summer heat waves and if you are not prepared, it could cause serious damage to your roofing system. From damage from UV rays, to water and humidity damage, extreme heat can wreak havoc on your roofing system. As extreme heat may force you to need a new roof replacement sooner than anticipated, especially if it’s not well taken care of, ignoring the problem can be dangerous for your property and also a costly, unnecessary expense you may not have budgeted for.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR CALIFORNIA COMMERCIAL ROOF FOR SUMMER HEAT

The best way to avoid a problem with your commercial roofing system is to be prepared. Full roof inspections internally and externally will help you prepare for the hot summer heat. Typically, roof exposure over a period can weaken your roof system and its ability to serve as a barrier.

Working with an experienced, trusted, certified roof contractor will help identify potential roof issues.

A professional Commercial Roofing Inspection can identify potential issues:

• Cracks, blisters, or punctures in the roof membrane

• Discolored or water-stained walls and ceilings

• Cracks in walls and parapets

• Raised or deteriorated areas on the walls below the roof deck

• Nails or screws coming through the membrane

• Loose, damaged, or buckled flashing

• Damaged or missing caulking along masonry panel joints

• Gaps in caulking around any units on the roof (chimney or HVAC)

• Bald or bare spots where UV reflective granules are missing

Don’t Let Extreme Summer Heat Destroy Your Commercial Roof

The fastest solution:

• Hire a professional commercial roof contractor
• Have a baseline inspection performed
• Have preventative roof maintenance completed

The worst solution is to do nothing and hope the roof remains intact. Doing nothing is not a solution. Simply because a roof is not leaking now does not mean it will not develop costly problems over the next year.

It does not take much wind to cause significant damage to flat commercial roof systems. In fact, a 40 mph to 50 mph wind can pull off loose fascia and edge flashing. The stronger the wind and older the roof, the more likelihood that some damage may occur. Periodic Roof Inspections should be done right after strong windstorms.  This helps commercial owners spot roof issues and address them quickly.

Next time that you hear the wind banging against the office window, do not just shrug your shoulders about it.  Have your roof system inspected to ensure no damage has occurred.

You want your roof in tip-top shape, before bad weather hits. Fall is right around the corner, which means that trees will begin shedding their leaves, and overgrown brush can drop branches and other mulch onto your commercial roof. Every year, property owners contend with the potential roof damage that comes from clogged gutters, drains and overgrown debris. Therefore, it is better to prepare now than to risk damages during the worst part of the year for maintenance or repairs.

This is why back-to-school season is the perfect time to have an annual commercial roof inspection. Just as students begin testing and performing assessments to ensure they are meeting standards, this time of year can be a great reminder for property owners to “test” and assess their commercial roofs, to make sure they are up to standards.

To ensure that your business can stand up to the effects of an earthquake, prepare for one before it occurs. Use the earthquake safety tips from the experts at Stone Roofing Co., Inc. to help protect your business and your employees from harm.

It always pays to be prepared – Earthquake Tips

Before an Earthquake – Be Prepared

• Check and reduce hazards in your place of business
• Check building structure and roof field
• Keep disaster supplies on hand
• Become earthquake educated
• Keep disaster supplies on hand for employees
• Develop an emergency communications plan

During an Earthquake – Be Safe

If indoors

• Drop to the ground and take cover by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture. Hold on until the shaking stops. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.
• Stay away from glass windows, outside doors and walls or anything that could fall such as lighting fixtures or book shelves.
• Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to you and you know it is a strongly supporting, load-bearing doorway.
• Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.
• Be aware that electricity may go out and sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on.
• Do not use elevators.

If outdoors

• Stay there.
• Move away from buildings, streetlights and utility wires. Most earthquake-related casualties result from collapsing walls, flying glass and falling objects.
• If trapped under debris
• Do not light a match.
• Stay still; do not move about or kick up dust.
• Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or piece of clothing
• Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.
• Once in an open space, stay there until the shaking stops.

If trapped under debris

• Do not light a match.
• Stay still; do not move about or kick up dust.
• Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or piece of clothing
• Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.

After an Earthquake – Be Smart

• Use a cell phone or landline telephone only for emergency calls.
• Help injured or trapped persons. Give first aid where appropriate, but do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury.
• Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas or hear blowing or hissing noise, open a window and leave immediately. Turn off the gas at the outside main valve if possible, move away from the building and call the gas company for assistance.
• Look for electrical system damage. If you see sparks or broken or frayed wires, or if you smell hot insulation, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. If you have to step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit breaker, call and electrician for assistance.
• Check for sewer and water line damage. If you suspect sewage line damage, avoid using the toilets and call a plumber. If water pipes are damaged, contact the water company and do not use water from the tap.
• Listen to a battery-powered radio or television for the latest emergency information.

Remove All Debris and Branches.
While fireworks burn rather hot only briefly, that is all it takes to catch needles, leaves, pine cones and tree branches.   Make sure to clear all debris and cut back any branches, limbs to reduce the availability of starting a serious fire.

Clean those Gutters.
Your properties gutters are another place where dry matter collects and can be a fire hazard. Pine needles, leaves and dried moss catch fire very quickly, so keep them from collecting in gutters and flat areas.

Inspect that Roof.
Check your roof for damage that you may not have known existed. Holes in your roof can allow sparks into your roof system where non-fire proof items can catch. If your roof happens to sport a blue tarp, that can be a fire danger. Inspect your roof for peace of mind.

If it’s not smart for you to be up on the roof top — even if you have done it in the past — contact Stone Roofing to look at your roof.

Commercial roof warning signs of water damage

You may not often think about it, but your commercial roof is one of the most vital parts of your business. After all, it covers and protects everything else. Therefore, you must deal with any minor issues before they become major headaches. Knowing what to look for is the key to avoiding a costly crisis with your commercial roof. Here are 3 signs of damage to look for.

 
1. Punctures in your roof, gaps in seams and failed flashing
2. Bubbles or blisters on the roof surface
3. Ceilings that have become stained, peeling or bowed

 
Experts suggest that you should have your commercial roof inspected at least twice a year. Have an inspection completed once in the spring, to evaluate any damage done over the harsh winter months. Then again in the fall, to ensure your roof is prepared for anything Mother Nature may throw in its path.

The post 3 Signs Your Commercial Roof May Have Water Damage appeared first on Stone Roofing - Rock Solid Since 1934.

Your building’s roof is probably one of the hardest working aspects of your commercial building overall. It ensures exposure to all manner of weather and temperatures, which means it’s that much more important to stay current with yearly maintenance.

Now that we’re officially into spring and heading toward summer, it’s a good time to think about preventive maintenance as a means to prepare your roof for next winter. Implementing a roofing “preventative maintenance program” is key to preserving and extending the life of your current roof system. We recommend periodic inspections—they can be done quarterly, semi-annually (fall and spring are the best time for this), or annually.

Activities you should perform in the spring to protect your commercial roof

• Check the gutters
• Trim those trees
• Clean the roof
• Inspect for damage
• Prevent future impairment
• Look around inside
• Perform necessary repairs
• Get preventive maintenance with a professional roof contractor

Below are some of the ways to get your roof weather ready:

• Inspect your roof following a severe storm

Even if you don’t notice any signs of roof damage after a storm; it’s best to complete a roof inspection to confirm there is no immediate damage. It’s always a good idea to keep a checklist or log that indicates signs of roofing damage. This will be helpful information when working with your roofing contractor.

• Keep branches/debris away from your roof

Branches that hang over the roof have the tendency to scratch its surface. This can weaken the integrity of its surface.  Even if tree branches are not in direct contact with your roofing surface, leaves can fall down and other debris. When it rains, these materials can end up in your gutter system and disrupt proper drainage.

• Clean your gutters

Inspect your gutters especially after a storm to prevent congestion in the gutters.  Any type of congestion or blockage in your gutter systems can cause major roof issues. If you need additional help with clearing your gutter system, never hesitate to call a professional roofing contractor.

• Resolve leaks immediately

Whether or not you have an active leak going on in your roof, make sure you pay attention to signs of water penetration. Any breach in your roofing system can be a portal of entry for water during bad weather.  Once water gets into your building, the problem will start to escalate. Water can weaken your property’s foundation and cause some major damage.
