How Do I Know If My Commercial Roof Is Ready for Winter?

When we received a call from a large manufacturer in small-town Middlebury, IN, saying a bar of ice had shattered an employee’s windshield, our first reaction was, “What does that have to do with roofing?”

Everything, actually.

After arriving on-site, our team discovered that one of the gutter seams was leaking. Slow, steady dripping combined with freezing temperatures had formed a long, heavy icicle hanging from the gutter. When the weather warmed up just slightly, the ice broke loose and dropped straight through a windshield—a dangerous and expensive accident that could have been prevented with a pre-winter inspection.

We were able to repair the issue immediately, but at that point, the damage was already done.
