Warehousing
There are approximately 725,000 warehouses in the U.S., some of which measure several square miles in size. The experienced professionals at Capital Roof Care will help ensure that your warehouse roof is installed, maintained, and repaired with durability, safety, and efficiency in mind.
Since most warehouse designs incorporate a flat roof, we will provide an honest assessment of the condition of your flat warehouse roof. Every structure has unique needs, and we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if replacement is truly necessary. When flat roof replacement is the best course of action, we propose options that best suit your warehouse’s construction and goals.
Regular Inspections
The number one thing a warehouse manager can do to maintain a large roof is inspect it regularly. Conduct a bi-annual industrial roof inspection—preferably in the spring and fall—to ensure small problems don’t become big problems and eventually cause a roofing emergency.
During our inspections, we will:
- Look for signs of wear, loose materials, ponding water, cracks, and any potential for leaks, especially around seams, drains, HVAC units, and other items penetrating the roof.
- Inspect seals, flashing, and other waterproofing elements for any signs of deterioration. Common stress points include HVAC units, skylights, and other protrusions. Reinforcing these areas can help prevent water infiltration.
- Monitor and repair membrane damage by inspecting for tears. Roof membranes can be damaged by foot traffic, weather, and debris. Even small tears or punctures can lead to significant issues.
In addition to conducting regular warehouse roof inspections, we can also examine your rooftop after a severe storm. High winds and rain can create issues and may need to be addressed before you have an emergency roofing repair on your hands.
Clear Debris
It’s also important to ensure your warehouse roof is free of debris. If you don’t remove sticks, leaves, and other materials that collect on the rooftop over time, the drains, gutters, and downspouts can become clogged, causing water to pond, which can damage membranes and lead to leaks.
Minimize Water Collection
To prevent roof ponding, other items should be checked. First, ensure you have good slope maintenance. We can help ensure the slope and drains are adequate to prevent water from collecting, which adds unnecessary weight to the roof and can cause membrane degradation. Second, we will evaluate your roof drainage systems; consider installing additional drains or sump pumps if ponding water becomes a recurring issue. Check out these tips to prevent ponding water on your roof.
Roof Coatings and Protective Layers
Commercial roof coatings and protective layers can also help maintain your roof and are crucial for prolonging its lifespan. UV rays and heat can deteriorate the roof membrane over time; however, putting a reflective coating on your rooftop will help to reduce heat absorption that can extend the life of your roof, as well as lower cooling costs. Be sure to use a reputable roof coating contractor like Capital Roof Care. We can also install protective mats to prolong your roof’s lifespan. All rooftops should have pathways that are clearly marked so employees know where to walk when on the roof deck which will also reduce wear and damage on the roof membrane.
Maintenance Plan
In addition to conducting regular inspections, hiring a professional roofing company like Capital Roof Care (CRC) is advisable to set up a roof maintenance plan. There are so many things to oversee when managing a mega warehouse, your roof doesn’t need to be one of them. CRC offers a variety of commercial roof maintenance plans to alleviate your stress and worry so you can pay attention to your mission-critical responsibilities. When you purchase a maintenance plan from CRC, they will serve as your partner and:
- Organize and keep track of your roof warranty information, and follow the maintenance requirements to keep it valid
- Regularly assess the conditions of your roof
- Identify repair needs
- Document all roof maintenance assessments and repair activities
