We restore commercial storm damage 24-hours a day in Hawaii and Maui.

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
