Is Your Commercial Flat Roof Winter-Ready?
Winter is coming — and for commercial and industrial buildings, that means it’s time to get serious about your roof.
Snow, ice, freezing rain, and rapid temperature swings can turn even small roofing issues into major, costly problems. A cracked seam or clogged drain today could become tomorrow’s emergency leak, operational downtime, or — worse — structural damage.
At Empire Roofing, we’ve seen it all. From frozen drains causing flooding, to unnoticed cracks letting in water that leads to interior damage and mold — most of these could have been avoided with a proper fall inspection.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Schedule a Preventative Roof Inspection
Our experienced crews can spot early signs of wear, tear, or hidden damage — including membrane separation, ponding water, and compromised flashings. We’ll give you a detailed report with photos and clear next steps.
2. Ensure Proper Drainage ❄
Clogged or frozen drains are one of the top causes of winter roof leaks. We’ll check your drainage system, clear debris, and ensure water flows off your roof — not into your building.
3. Complete Minor Repairs Before Snow Hits 🛠
Fixing issues now is faster and more cost-effective than reacting to emergencies in -10°C. Small repairs can make a big difference in extending the life of your roof.
4. Get Proof-In-Pictures
We provide time-stamped photo documentation of your roof’s condition — so you have peace of mind (and a paper trail) heading into the season.
A Few Pennies Per Square Foot Now = Dollars Saved Later
