Don’t Ignore Your Commercial Roof Drainage System

6/28/2019 (Permalink)

Regular maintenance of your roof drainage system, like cleaning out gutters, will help you avoid water damage to your commercial property.

You hardly notice a well-operating rooftop drainage system—gutters, downspouts, interior drains and scuppers—until it malfunctions, damaging your building and property. Paying a little attention on a regular basis can keep your drainage system removing water efficiently—and prevent expensive water damage.

At least twice a year, in the spring and fall, do an inspection, cleanup and, if needed, repair of your business’s roof.

• Clear away loose debris or objects, such as leaves or twigs
• Trim trees away from the roof
• Ensure that downspouts channel water away from your building’s foundation
• Check all parts of the drainage system for leaks, and repair or replace if necessary

During your inspection, pay close attention to your gutters.

• Clear gutters of washed-down roofing granules
• Check for standing water. If caused by a blockage, clear out the debris. But if there is no blockage, your gutter may not be properly sloped to the downspouts
• Make sure your gutters are made of non-combustible metal, securely anchored by gutter straps
