MAY 2024 ENEWSLETTER

In this e-newsletter, we will focus on various aspects of getting your
commercial and industrial buildings ready for summer. We will cover the best
practices to help you with post-storm insurance claims and the role of proper
roof insulation in mitigating condensation issues. In addition, we will debunk
some common metal roofing myths and explore how you can improve floor safety in
your facility. Please continue to the articles below!



WEATHERING THE STORM: MAKING THE MOST OF INSURANCE COVERAGE

Summer is almost here and so are the storms, monsoons and hurricanes. This year,
we are preparing for an active hurricane season, as predicted by the Colorado
State University (CSU) hurricane forecast team. They anticipate an extremely
active season, with the Atlantic basin's Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) and
Net Tropical Cyclone (NTC) activity forecasted to be approximately 170% of their
long-term averages from 1991 to 2020. We may be facing up to 23 named storms and
5 major hurricanes. While we still wait for NOAA's official hurricane season
outlook, which will be released on May 23, it's crucial to start preparing your
commercial building for a bumpy ride ahead. One of the important aspects is
optimizing your insurance coverage.



STEP 1: TAKE A DEEP LOOK AT YOUR EXISTING POLICY AND WHETHER YOU NEED TO ADJUST
IT.

There are multiple types of insurance policies on the market and it's important
to ensure the policy you have meets your specific needs. For example, some
policies may not cover windstorms or hail damage and many commercial insurance
policies do not cover flood damage. It's essential to review your policy to
confirm it provides the necessary coverage. Pay attention to the fine print!
Consider adding any additional coverage that your facility may require.



STEP 2: COMMERCIAL ROOF INSPECTIONS BEFORE STORMS.

Being proactive before a storm hits can make a big difference in what happens
afterward. Regular roof inspections and preventative maintenance are paramount
in identifying any existing weak points on your facility’s roof that could
escalate into more significant damage during an extreme weather event. A
comprehensive commercial roof inspection provides you with a detailed report
documenting your current roof condition as well as repair recommendations.
Completing those repairs and keeping your roof in top shape will not only help
you prepare for the storm season but also serve as documentation for your
insurance company to help streamline the claims process later. It's essential
that you get quality and detailed reports for your records. Check out this
article to help you!



STEP 3: POST-STORM INSPECTION.

You weathered the storm! What’s next? A post-storm roof inspection is in order
so you can identify and address any damage. Keep in mind, not all storm damage
is visible to the naked eye. Commercial roof systems are built to last and
withstand extreme weather. With proper maintenance and timely repairs, you can
postpone replacements for a long time. However, it doesn't mean they are immune
to extreme storm damage. You simply may not see it yet. Factors such as wind
uplift, punctures from flying debris, compromised membrane seams and clogged
drainage systems may generate minor issues that will grow with each and every
storm until there's an active leak or a roof blow off. Therefore, address those
issues early while you can still get your insurance to pay for it. Having both
before and after roof inspection reports in hand will help you show the precise
storm damage to your insurance company.



STEP 4: NAVIGATING THE CLAIMS PROCESS.

As you already know, thorough documentation is essential to make this process
less daunting. With your pre-storm and post-storm roof inspection reports in
hand, which include photos, videos and any interim repairs completed, you are
off to a good start. Avoid common mistakes such as delaying reporting damages or
overlooking policy exclusions.



As storm and hurricane season approaches, it's important to be prepared for the
unexpected. Damage to your facility’s roof can take various forms and may be
easily overlooked until it becomes a larger issue. Stay proactive in assessing
and maintaining your roof to ensure it can withstand whatever Mother Nature
throws at it!

LET'S TALK ROOFING!




THE ROLE OF INSULATION IN YOUR ROOF ASSEMBLY

Whether you are in hospitality, manufacturing, cold storage or any other
industry, excessive moisture in your building can result in a number of issues
ranging from mold to water damage and poor air quality. Did you know the state
of your roof's insulation may play a significant role in all of this?



WATER STREAKS ON A SUNNY DAY?

When warm, humid air meets a cold surface, moisture converts into a liquid. On
hot summer days, the temperature difference between the interior of your
building and the outside may be quite drastic. If your facility's roof is
properly insulated, that is typically not a problem. But if you notice water
streaks on the ceiling and walls of your commercial building, chances are you
have roof insulation issues.



WHAT PART DOES YOUR ROOF INSULATION PLAY?

Proper roof insulation is critical for preventing condensation because it serves
as a barrier to keep warm, moist air from reaching cold surfaces where
condensation occurs. So, if your roof insulation is not adequate, you may end up
with moisture issues. Those may include:



✓ MOLD GROWTH:

Excessive moisture provides the perfect conditions for mold and mildew, which
may compromise indoor air quality and pose potential health risks for your
building's occupants.



✓ WATER DAMAGE:

This can weaken various components of your roof and the rest of your building,
causing costly repairs or safety hazards.



✓ POOR AIR QUALITY:

High humidity levels in your building may create an uncomfortable environment
for your employees, visitors or tenants. Particularly when it comes to
respiratory issues, health problems or allergies.



✓ INCREASED SPEND ON AIR CONDITIONING:

High humidity adds strain to your air conditioning systems as it makes the air
feel warmer. Your system has to work overtime to achieve the desired
temperature, resulting in higher energy use and electric bills. This may become
a serious challenge if your facility aims to minimize its energy use and
environmental footprint. In addition, this extra strain on your AC system may
also lead to higher maintenance costs, repairs and premature replacement of your
equipment.



✓ CORROSION:

Excessive moisture may result in rust and corrosion of metal components in your
roof system.



✓ INSULATION DEGRADATION:

Full circle! Poor insulation may lead to moisture issues, which in turn affects
insulation materials themselves, reducing their effectiveness. Damp insulation
can lose up to 40% of its initial thermal resistance, resulting in higher energy
bills.



WHAT TO DO?

If you suspect condensation issues in your commercial facility, the sooner you
address them, the better. Contact our team today for a free comprehensive roof
evaluation to determine what is going on whether it's insulation deterioration,
active leaks or other damage. Our team of experienced specialists armed with the
latest technology will help you determine your current roof condition and
provide solutions for remediation. Our comprehensive condition report will help
you make the right calls regarding your facility's roof to help extend its life
and optimize its performance. Click or tap on the button below and let's get
your facility back to watertight!

SEPARATING FACTS FROM FICTION SERIES: ADDRESSING METAL ROOF CONCERNS


Metal roofs, while very popular with commercial facilities, are not immune to
myths and misconceptions like any other roofing or siding material. Let's look
into some of the common concerns we hear in the field and address them!



CONCERN #1: DO METAL ROOFS ATTRACT LIGHTNING?

The answer is no. Metal roofs do not attract lightning strikes any more than
other roof systems. In fact, the Class-A fire-resistance rating and natural
conductivity make them one of the best options for protecting your commercial
facility from fires during a lightning storm.



CONCERN #2: DO METAL ROOFS GET NOISY DURING RAIN?

When rainwater hits metal, it can produce a sound of course. However, proper
insulation and soundproofing can mitigate the noise level and keep your metal
roof as quiet as any other roof system during a rainstorm.



CONCERN #3: WHAT ABOUT RUST?

Metals like zinc, aluminum or copper are naturally rust-resistant. Steel roofs
can be coated with zinc, aluminum or other rust-inhibitors. To maintain
resiliency, we recommend regular roof evaluations and preventative maintenance.



CONCERN #4: ARE DENTS A PROBLEM?

Extreme conditions like hail or hurricanes can cause airborne objects to dent
metal roofs. However, it's all about the quality of materials used for your
roof. Choosing a reputable manufacturer, opting for a thicker gauge or
impact-resistant coatings are key factors to ensure your metal roof remains dent
free.



CONCERN #5: I HAVE HEARD METAL ROOFS ARE COSTLY, IS THAT TRUE?

While the initial cost of a metal roof may be higher than some other systems
available on the market, its unparalleled performance and resilience to elements
will save you a lot of money in repairs over time. Correctly installed and
maintained, these solutions can last over 20 to 25 years, easily justifying the
upfront investment.



Metal roofs continue to be very popular with many commercial facilities due to
their outstanding weather and fire resistance, durability, sustainability,
lightweight and the ability to customize them. Check out this article for more
information regarding the benefits of metal roofs. Need help choosing the best
roof for your commercial building? Click here for our quick guide.

LET'S TALK ABOUT METAL ROOFING!




IMPROVING WORKPLACE SAFETY WITH COMMERCIAL FLOORING SOLUTIONS

Providing a safe working environment for your team and visitors is crucial for
any commercial facility. One of the key components to achieving this is ensuring
your building's floor plays its part. Commercial floors may be subject to heavy
pedestrian and vehicular traffic, spills, industrial-grade chemicals, static
electricity and other factors surrounding daily operations. In addition,
accessibility compliance is vital for businesses and organizations in North
America, whether we are talking about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
or Canada's Accessible Canada Act (ACA). Let's explore the flooring solutions
you can implement to help you with your overall workplace safety initiatives.



PREVENT SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS.

Did you know that according to the 2023 Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index
(WSI), businesses in the US alone lost a staggering $8.98B due to 'falls on the
same level' and $1.92B due to 'slips or trips without the fall'? These numbers
underscore the financial implications of workplace accidents. To ensure the
safety of your floor surface, start by assessing its condition. Spalling,
cracks, spills, uneven joints and moisture damage can all create unsafe or
inaccessible conditions for your employees. Consider scheduling a comprehensive
evaluation with a commercial flooring specialist to ensure nothing is
overlooked. Promptly complete any necessary repairs. To enhance traction and
slip resistance, explore various coatings.



USE CLEAR AND VISIBLE SAFETY LINES AND DEMARCATIONS.

Clear communication is the key to helping your employees travel through your
facility using the intended paths and avoid ending up in an unsafe area by
mistake. Improve the safety and flow of your facility by adding safety lines and
demarcations to communicate safe traffic routes and the dedicated regions around
tooling and equipment.



ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PROTECTION.

Is your facility handling delicate electronic components or volatile, flammable
materials? ESD floor systems are intended to safeguard your facility from
problems associated with static electricity by assisting in the dissipation of
discharges and are commonly implemented in ESD Protected Areas (EPAs).



ENSURE EASY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.

Maintaining a clean, pathogen-free environment is a must for any commercial
facility. The stakes are even higher for industries like food processing or
healthcare. Ensure your floor system meets your cleaning demands and can
withstand thermal shock or chemical exposure when applicable. Explore various
commercial floor systems that may better fit your application. Check out these
quick guidelines for cleaning your polished concrete and resinous floors. Check
out our online shop for commercial grade cleaners, joint and crack repair
solutions, patches and more!



Floor safety is an integral part of your overall workplace safety plan. Not sure
where to start? Contact us to schedule a comprehensive floor evaluation to
determine your existing floor condition and needs.
