Winter in the Chicago area brings unique challenges for commercial property owners. For many, snow accumulation on roofs is a primary concern. At Showalter Roofing, we understand that proper commercial roof snow removal is not just about maintenance. It’s about protecting your investment and ensuring the safety of everyone in your building.
Professional Commercial Roof Snow Removal Equipment Makes the Difference
Our team at Showalter Roofing always utilizes the proper commercial roof snow removal equipment. We will clear your roof safely and effectively. We understand the needs of different roofing materials and structures. We also know that snow can cause more damage to your roof than you might think.
When heavy snowfall accumulates on your commercial roof, it creates significant stress on the structure. Just one cubic foot of snow can weigh between 12-15 pounds, and on a large commercial flat roof, this weight increases quickly. Without proper commercial roof snow removal, this burden can lead to:
- Structural damage and potential roof collapse
- Stress on support beams and trusses
- Ice dam formation leading to water infiltration
- Membrane damage on flat roofs
- Blocked drainage systems
Comprehensive Commercial Winter Roof Maintenance Tips
Beyond snow removal, we recommend a complete winter maintenance strategy. Here are essential commercial roof maintenance tips to protect your property:
- Schedule regular inspections before and during the winter months.
- Keep drainage systems clear and functioning.
- Monitor ice buildup and address it promptly.
- Check interior walls and ceilings for signs of water damage.
- Document all maintenance activities and inspections.
