Aloha! Our teams in Hawaii and Maui respond to commercial storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day, every day in Kailua-Kona. Here are some tips for preventing water intrusion from the Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety to prepare your building for winter storms:
Your team needs to maintain the roof drains and gutters on your properties.
Low slope (flat) roofs
- Inspect roof and repair leaks before the winter season
- Remove all debris and other items from roof and roof drainage systems that prevent drainage of water from the roof during the melting process
- Check that all flashing and seals are flush and secure
Steep slope roofs
- Inspect your roof and repair leaks before the winter season
- Secure loose shingles
- Check roof-edge waterproofing and seal to prevent potential drafts
- Add extra insulation in your attic or surrounding areas
Gutters
- Inspect gutters and ensure they are secured to the building. Replace any missing gutter fasteners.
- Clean gutters and interior downspouts thoroughly, removing all debris and unclogging drains
- Test gutters and downspouts to be sure water does not back up. This can be done by using a hose.
- Check downspouts to ensure they divert water away from the foundation
