In today’s blog we’ll go over the top 5 things your fellow property managers are doing to adequately prepare their properties for fall and winter. From seasonal inspections to prompt repairs, our team will go over everything you need to know.

1. Seasonal Roof Inspections
The best way to spot potential issues before they balloon into larger repairs or even full-blown replacements is with a seasonal inspection. And when you choose Tidewater Roofing, you get the easiest, most thorough inspection in the area thanks to our Drone Roof Inspection technology! This service utilizes state-of-the-art drones to provide comprehensive, accurate and safe roof inspections for both commercial and residential properties. The data collected by our drones is analyzed by our experts to provide an accurate assessment of your roof's condition. We identify problems like leaks, damage and wear, offering recommendations for maintenance or repair. Drone roof assessments are a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods. By reducing the time and resources needed for inspections, we offer a more efficient and reliable service without compromising quality. After the assessment, we provide a detailed report, including high-quality images and expert analysis. This report serves as a valuable tool for maintenance planning, insurance claims, and property evaluations, so call us no matter the time of year!
2. Gutter Clearing & Downspouts
Your property’s gutter system is just as important as your roofing system when it comes to preventing water damage during fall and winter storms. Ensure your gutters are free from leaf debris and blockages with regular cleanings. You can even install a gutter guard to help make this process a little bit easier. Tidewater Roofing is also proud to offer box gutter installation for a number of commercial clients in the Hampton Roads and Richmond Areas. Our commercial gutter services are designed to offer reliable, long-lasting solutions that protect your property from water damage while enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. After installation, our technicians will check the alignment and slope of your gutters to ensure optimal drainage. Poor alignment can lead to water buildup and potential damage.
3. Check Flashing & Seals
Many multi-family properties have numerous chimneys and skylights, so it’s important to check the seals around these areas for damage to help prevent significant water intrusion and inefficiencies due to drafts. Flashing helps seal and protect the edges of your roof and protrusions like HVAC equipment and vents from water intrusion. If flashing becomes loose or damaged, it can allow large amounts of water to leak into your building resulting in significant damage. If you’re noticing significant damage to flashing around your property, call in Tidewater Roofing today! Our commercial roof repair experts will provide fast, accurate quotes and priority, high-quality service so you can be ready for whatever the season throws at your roof.4. Insulation & Ventilation
Commercial or multi-family roof insulation is typically installed underneath the protective membrane on a flat-roofed building. Insulation has several vital roles in maintaining the safety and comfort of your property. Proper insulation will help provide thermal resistance, sound-proofing and even impact-resistance which could extend the longevity of your roof. If you’re interested in the different kinds of roofing insulation available, check out this blog for more information. Adequate ventilation will also help improve air flow and prevent mold and bacteria build-up.5. Snow & Ice Removal
While Tidewater Roofing doesn’t offer storm debris or ice removal, we highly recommend having a plan. Heavy rain, high winds, and occasional ice events can quickly compromise the integrity of even the strongest of roofs if left unchecked. Make sure you have a qualified contractor on standby before the next big storm hits.Why Choose Tidewater Services For Property Managers
