As hurricane season peaks, commercial building owners across Florida face a crucial question: Is your roof ready to weather the storm? In places like Brooksville, Tampa, and along the Gulf Coast, strong winds and torrential rains can expose even minor vulnerabilities in your roofing system—leading to costly damage, downtime, and safety risks.
At Aderhold Roofing, we’ve helped protect Florida’s commercial and multifamily properties for over a decade. Here are five urgent steps to safeguard your investment before the next storm rolls in.
1. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
Even minor cracks or flashing failures can lead to catastrophic water intrusion under hurricane conditions. A licensed inspection can catch issues early—especially around roof penetrations, drains, and seams.
✅ Pro Tip: Aderhold offers free pre-hurricane roof inspections for commercial properties in Hernando, Hillsborough, and Pasco Counties.
2. Secure Rooftop Equipment
HVAC units, satellite dishes, vents, and loose debris can turn into projectiles in high winds. Make sure equipment is properly anchored and remove any unsecured materials.
⚠️ Did you know? Flying debris is one of the top causes of membrane punctures on flat commercial roofs.
3. Clear Drains and Gutters
Clogged drainage systems lead to ponding water—a major threat to flat roofing systems like TPO, BUR, and modified bitumen. Ensure all scuppers, downspouts, and internal drains are free-flowing.
4. Review Your Roof Warranty and Insurance Coverage
Some warranties require pre-storm documentation or exclude wind damage without proper maintenance records. Verify that your roof is in compliance to avoid claim issues later.
5. Create a Post-Storm Action Plan
Know who to call. Having a pre-approved contractor like Aderhold Roofing on file ensures immediate response after a storm—before demand surges and repair delays hit.
