Maintaining Roof Repairs During Rainy Season

By Monica Pedrique, SureCoat Systems.

April showers and the coronavirus don’t have to halt roof repairs from being completed.

While April showers are necessary, they can be inconvenient for building owners in need of roof repairs. This is especially true in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, with requirements to socially distance. 

Some facility managers and building owners will end up in a situation where temporary repairs need to be completed to keep the building dry and safe to occupy. When these repairs are completed with an easy-to-use, proven product, they can be done quickly and will last for years instead of months. 

Here are some of the most common leak sources that can be repaired simply:

• Small roof leaks, seam repairs, roof jacks, cracks in the roof surface, popped nails, wall cap flashing joints

• Cracks in roof equipment curbs, skylight curbs and lenses, roof drains, and rusted or damaged equipment flashings.

• Repairing some storm damage areas

• Sealing ponding water areas

Regardless of the building owners’ repair needs, here are some things to take into account before getting to work:

• Safety, Safety, Safety

  • COVID-19 protection, masks, gloves, glasses and stay 6’ away from others.

  • Ensure you have a safe working area

  • Be mindful of skylights and trip hazards

  • Use the proper ladder

• Make sure you have all the tools and equipment necessary and in good, working condition.

Construction is on the essential industries’ list and arrangements can be made to have as little personal contact as possible, while also keeping your customers’ properties damage- and leak-free during the rainy season.
