Businesses of all sizes have long been encouraged by state and federal authorities to have disaster plans in place. Fire, flood, quake or other disruption need not bring your business to a halt, and neither should a roof emergency. BELDON® Roofing Company has emergency crews available 24/7, but what should you, the responsible business owner, do during a flat roof emergency?

Emergencies

Aside from the obvious calamities that may affect entire blocks or areas of a city, other issues unique to your property could cause you, alone, to declare a flat roof emergency:

  • Blunt force impact from falling debris, branches, or collapsed superstructure on your roof
  • Excessive ponding
  • Clogged drains or scuppers
  • Wind uplift

Flat Roof Emergency Plan

React quickly when your building suffers a flat roof emergency. The water atop your low-slope or flat roof will not drain on its own quickly enough to prevent damage. Include these steps in your business’s emergency plan book:

  • Contact BELDON® Roofing Company for emergency service
  • If water is actively entering your business interior, turn off power to the affected area
  • Have building maintenance crews remove equipment, stock and furnishings beneath the leak
  • If water has not infiltrated but threatens to, your facilities manager should assess the roof’s condition from a position of safety and, if possible, direct the removal of as much water as possible by broom, wet vac or pump and hoses
