February brings cold temperatures, ice, and unpredictable weather to the St. Louis area, all of which can take a toll on commercial roofs. Understanding the risks and taking proactive measures can help prevent costly damage and extend the life of your roofing system.

Common Winter Roofing Issues

• Ice Dams & Snow Accumulation – Ice buildup along roof edges can cause water to back up under roofing materials, leading to leaks.

• Freeze-Thaw Cycles – Repeated freezing and thawing can expand cracks and weaken roofing structures.

• Wind Damage – February is often a windy month, which can lift loose roofing materials and compromise your roof's integrity.

• Condensation Issues – Poor insulation can lead to condensation inside the building, promoting mold growth and structural damage.

How to Protect Your Commercial Roof

1. Schedule a Winter Roof Inspection – Identifying small issues now can prevent expensive repairs later.
2. Ensure Proper Drainage – Keep gutters and drains clear of debris to prevent ice buildup.
3. Check for Interior Leaks – Water stains on ceilings or walls may indicate hidden roofing problems.
4. Monitor Snow Load – Excessive snow can add weight and strain to your roofing structure.
5. Plan for Spring Maintenance – Now is the time to schedule routine maintenance for when the weather warms up.
