Why business owners should prioritize roof maintenance

By The Duerson Corporation. 

Learn from one business that escaped a potential roofing disaster. 

Running a business comes with so many responsibilities and areas of concern. You have to manage your business operations, finances, sales, marketing and human resources. An area that is often neglected, yet often sees damage, is the building’s rooftop. Years of neglect can amount to serious risks that can then result in unexpected losses of resources, time and money. We at The Duerson Corporation are here to help your business prevent such losses and prepare for any roofing issues. Learn from one of our clients who escaped a potentially disastrous outcome. 

When the unseen threatens stability 

Imagine starting your workday like any other, only to find that a critical, yet often overlooked part of your infrastructure is on the brink of causing a major disruption. This was nearly a reality for Jeremy Smith, CEO of Affinity Credit Union, when a routine inspection revealed a hidden danger that could have halted operations and incurred significant costs. 

Understanding the hidden dangers 

At Affinity Credit Union, the safety and continuity of service are paramount. Tucked away above, the roofs that shelter their operations were silently accumulating risks. Without regular checks, these unseen problems could spiral into emergencies that disrupt business, damage property and erode customer trust. 

The challenge: Seeing beyond the surface 

Jeremy realized that what you don’t see can hurt you. “We never thought that something so overlooked could bring us so close to a standstill,” he reflects. It was a wake-up call that led him to seek a solution that not only addresses the immediate issues but prevents future ones. 

Our role: Your guide to safety and security 

The Duerson Corporation stepped in not just as service providers but as strategic partners. We provided Affinity with a comprehensive maintenance plan that included regular inspections, state-of-the-art diagnostics and preventative repairs. 

The journey to a safer business environment 

Here’s how we transformed a potential disaster into a story of foresight and preparedness: 

• Initial assessment: Our team conducted a thorough evaluation of the roofing system using advanced imaging technologies to detect moisture and assess structural integrity. 
• Customized intervention: Based on our findings, we developed a tailored plan that included cleaning, repairs and enhancements to improve drainage and prevent water accumulation. 
• Ongoing partnership: We established a schedule of regular maintenance checks and quick-response measures to ensure that the roofs remain in optimal condition, safeguarding the buildings and the people within them. 

The outcome: Beyond immediate fixes 

Since implementing our maintenance program, Affinity Credit Union has not only avoided costly emergency repairs but has also experienced enhanced operational stability. Jeremy notes, “The peace of mind knowing that our facilities are secure lets us focus on what we do best — serving our community.”
