Affected by the recent Storms?

Is Your property at risk?

Severe weather has once again hit North Texas, bringing high winds, heavy rain, and potential damage to commercial properties across the DFW region. While storm damage might not always be immediately visible, hidden issues in your roofing system can lead to costly repairs and even business disruptions if left unchecked.

How Storms Can Impact Your Commercial Roof

Storms can weaken your roof’s integrity in ways that aren’t always obvious. Here’s how different elements of a storm can affect your commercial building:

1. High Winds

Strong winds can loosen or tear roofing materials, including membranes, flashings, and edge metal. This can compromise your building’s ability to resist water intrusion.

2. Heavy Rain & Water Ponding

Excessive rain can overwhelm your drainage system, causing ponding water on flat roofs. If water sits for more than 48 hours, it can lead to membrane deterioration, leaks, and structural strain.

3. Hail & Debris Impact

While hail wasn’t a major factor in this recent storm, high winds can carry debris that can puncture or dent your roof membrane, leading to long-term issues like moisture infiltration and insulation damage.

4. Clogged Drains & Gutter Blockages

Debris buildup from trees, dust, and roofing material can block drains and gutters, preventing proper water flow. Poor drainage increases the risk of leaks and premature wear on your roof system.

Warning Signs of Commercial Roof Damage

After a severe storm, property owners and facility managers should look out for:

✔ Ponding water lasting more than 48 hours
✔ Blisters, cracks, or bubbles in the roofing membrane
✔ Loose or missing flashing and metal edging
✔ Visible punctures or tears in the membrane
✔ Interior water stains on ceilings or walls
✔ Mold or musty odors indicating moisture intrusion

Why You Should Act Now

Even minor roof damage can escalate into major, costly repairs if left unaddressed. A compromised roof can lead to structural issues, insulation problems, energy inefficiencies, and interior water damage.
