A maintenance plan is easier to follow when access, prior issues and known repairs are documented before a busy season.

List earlier leaks and when drains or seams were last checked. Decide who owns the findings and who approves follow-up work before the inspection takes place.

Contact Dekoven Roofing to discuss a commercial roof assessment. Include the building address and the name of the person who can arrange access.

Prepare ahead

Maintenance before storm season reduces surprises.

Plan

  • Inspect drains and flashing.
  • Fix known issues.

A simple pre-season checklist

Before storm season, confirm drains are clear, flashing is tight, access hatches close properly and any known leak areas have been addressed. Make sure staff know who to call after hours.
