When your facility’s roof fails unexpectedly, it can halt operations, damage equipment, and create serious safety risks. At Preferred, Inc. – Fort Wayne, we know that every second counts. Whether storm damage, leaks, or structural compromise, you need fast, reliable emergency industrial roof repair from a contractor you can trust.
Step 1: Prioritize Safety Immediately
If your flat roofing system has been compromised—especially during a storm or after visible impact—clear the affected area and keep staff away. Water leaks, sagging materials, or membrane tears in EPDM roofing or PVC roofing can escalate quickly if not addressed. Never allow untrained personnel to inspect the roof during unsafe conditions.
Step 2: Document Everything
Take photos or videos of the damage from the ground or safe areas inside the building. This documentation will help:
- Speed up insurance claims
- Provide your contractor with a quick overview
- Track the extent and location of the issue
Whether you're preparing for commercial roof repair or facing a complete commercial roof replacement, visual documentation is essential.
Step 3: Call a Trusted Industrial Roofing Contractor
Preferred, Inc. – Fort Wayne specializes in emergency response for industrial roofing and commercial roofing systems. We offer:
- 24/7 emergency services
- Experience with flat roofing, PVC roofing, and EPDM roofing
- Immediate temporary protection, like tarping and sealing
- Expert evaluation for repair vs. commercial roof replacement
Our team understands the unique needs of industrial facilities and works fast to minimize downtime.
Step 4: Communicate Internally and Stay Operational
Let your teams know what’s happening and coordinate response efforts:
- Move vulnerable inventory or equipment
- Notify warehouse or production managers
- Review short-term contingency plans
A quick response, paired with a professional roofing partner, helps prevent further damage and keeps your operations running as smoothly as possible.
Step 5: Think Long-Term with Maintenance and Prevention
Once the crisis is over, evaluate the cause and consider next steps:
- Was the issue preventable?
- Is your roof at the end of its lifecycle?
- Do you need routine inspections moving forward?
