Peak Hurricane Season Starts Today!
The Season Has Officially Begun
Today marks the official start of peak hurricane season. While forecasts show no named storms expected in the next seven days, history tells us that this calm is often temporary. September is historically the most active month for hurricanes, with the majority of severe storms forming in the coming weeks.
A Window of Opportunity
The absence of storms right now gives businesses and property owners a critical window of opportunity. Too often, we see action taken only after a storm is already on the radar. By then, resources are stretched thin, contractors are booked, and small issues that could have been corrected become expensive emergencies.
Why Prevention Pays Off
Preventative steps taken today can mean the difference between a secure roof and costly storm damage tomorrow.
- Roof Inspections: Identify vulnerabilities like loose flashing, clogged drains, or minor membrane damage before they’re tested by high winds and rain.
- Drainage Checks: Clear gutters and rooftop drains to prevent ponding water that can weaken roof systems.
- Reinforcement: Ensure rooftop equipment is secured and edges are sealed tight to withstand heavy gusts.
- Documentation: Establish a record of your roof’s condition now, making insurance claims faster and more accurate if damage does occur.
Don’t Wait for the First Storm Alert
The quiet before the storm is your best chance to act. Taking preventative measures now is not just about peace of mind, it’s about safeguarding your business, protecting your assets, and ensuring operations continue even in the aftermath of severe weather.
