Maintenance Plans for Commercial Properties
We create customized maintenance plans based on the specific materials and design of your commercial flat roof. Regular inspections identify potential issues like leaks, membrane damage, or drainage problems before they escalate.
Our scheduled visits often include cleaning debris, checking flashing and seams, and testing waterproofing. These steps reduce the chance of costly emergency repairs. We recommend quarterly or biannual inspections depending on weather exposure and building use.

What qualifies as a commercial roof emergency that needs immediate repair?
A commercial roof emergency requires immediate repair when there's active water intrusion threatening business operations, inventory, or electrical systems. This includes large punctures exposing interiors, collapsed sections, damage from fallen objects, and sudden major leaks. Situations where water enters near critical equipment or causes ceiling materials to sag also qualify. Any roof damage creating safety hazards or threatening to escalate rapidly requires same-day professional attention.
Do emergency commercial roof repairs cost more than scheduled repairs?
Yes, emergency commercial roof repairs typically cost 25-40% more than scheduled repairs. This premium reflects after-hours service, rapid crew deployment, expedited materials, and specialized containment equipment. While more expensive upfront, emergency repairs prevent significantly higher costs from water damage to inventory, equipment, and interiors. The investment protects against business interruption losses and prevents minor issues from becoming major reconstruction projects.
Is emergency roof repair covered by commercial insurance in Wisconsin?
Most commercial property insurance policies in Wisconsin cover emergency roof repairs when caused by sudden, unexpected events like storms, falling objects, or vandalism. Coverage typically includes both temporary measures and permanent repairs. Damage from negligence or deferred maintenance is usually excluded. Document the emergency with photos, report promptly, and obtain professional assessment. Many insurers have expedited procedures for emergencies that allow work to begin before formal approval.
Can temporary emergency roof repairs be done during active storms in Milwaukee?
Temporary repairs can be performed during breaks in active storms, but full repairs must wait until conditions improve. During severe weather, emergency teams deploy reinforced tarping, water diversion systems, and interior containment to minimize damage. Safety prevents complete repairs during lightning, high winds, or heavy precipitation. We stabilize the situation with temporary solutions during weather breaks while monitoring conditions to begin comprehensive repairs at the earliest safe opportunity.
