Snow Damages Commercial Roof in Tucson?

12/20/2022 (Permalink)

We restore commercial storm damage 24-hours a day in Pima County.

Snow rarely makes it into Tucson and stays confined to the mountains and the higher valleys east and southeast of the city. However, in December 1971, nearly 7 inches of snow fell in Tucson! Our Northeast Tucson?and Oro Valley/Marana East technicians respond to commercial storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day and typically arrive onsite within four hours of your call for help. Although snow is rare, we thought local businesses might want to know about snow loads for commercial roofs. Here is some information about roof snow loads from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety: 

When it comes to the weight of snow, the type of snow is as important as the depth of the snow. For instance, fresh powder snow is typically lighter than wet-packed snow, and ice is heavier than snow. 

Snow Load Danger signs 

Fresh snow?– more than four feet 

Packed snow?– more than two feet 

Ice?– one inch or more 

Several factors contribute to the acting load on your roof, including snow drifts from adjacent buildings or mechanical equipment, heavy rain on snow, and melting snow that refreezes.? 

If you don’t know your roof’s snow load, hire a structural engineer to verify the snow load threshold of the roofing system. This information will be important when determining if there is too much snow on the roof after an event.?

Commercial Generator Maintenance Tips for Tucson Businesses?

10/17/2022 (Permalink)

We respond to commercial damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Pima County.

Power outages can disrupt business and affect productivity in the workplace. When operating as they should, commercial generators keep the power running when the power grid is down. Our Northeast Tucson and Oro Valley/Marana East teams offer these tips from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety to prepare for power outages by servicing your generator:

The time to maintain a generator is well before a major storm or disaster strikes (when professional assistance may be unavailable, power lines are down, and access roads are blocked). Backup power can help maintain a consistent building temperature and reduce the risk of freezing pipes leading to business disruption and damage. 

Permanent

• Permanent generators should have a proper maintenance plan that includes weekly, monthly, and annual checks. See the manufacturer’s specifications for more information.  
• Run the unit on its maintenance plan weekly to ensure it is properly functioning in an emergency. Individual units may have a timer that allows a programmed test to be scheduled, and qualified personnel should oversee these scheduled weekly tests.  
• Check the generator enclosure for loose debris or other conditions that could cause the unit not to function correctly.  

Portable 

• Store in a dry location
• Set up a maintenance schedule to include periodic test runs for the unit
