It’s no secret that the effect of coronavirus has left many industries in a period of uncertainty. Many workers across the globe are being let go from their jobs through no fault of their own. Similarly, the roofing industry is also greatly impacted by the present circumstances.
In this article, we’ll discuss some safety measures that roof contractors, like Eagle Rivet, are taking to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and the importance of roof repair and maintenance at a time like this.
Safety Measures
Since roofing mostly involves work that’s done outside the home, you have no reason to worry about maintaining a safe distance from the crew while they’re working on your roof. Roof contractors must take steps in compliance with the CDC recommendations to avoid putting their clients’ or their employees’ health or safety at risk.
They must strictly follow the guidelines shared by the CDC that include encouraging employees that are sick or showing symptoms of coronavirus to stay at home and perform routine cleaning and disinfection of their gear, work attire, tools, and other such equipment.
Importance of Roof Repair and Maintenance
It’s extremely necessary to keep your health at your topmost priority in these scary times, but you shouldn’t take major or minor damage to your commercial or residential roof, lightly. Whether it’s a matter of immediate concern or a small leak that may seem harmless to you, it’s advisable to take precautions to fix a roof leak and make sure it doesn’t result in more extensive damage.
Prolonged exposure to moisture (in the case of leaks) can make your roof particularly susceptible to the growth of mold and future roof issues. Taking measures to prevent this, like roof waterproofing will help save you money in the long run.
It’s important to note that now more than ever, you must make sure you maintain the condition of your roof and ensure that it is safe. If your roof is in unsalvageable conditions, then it is important to get a roof replacement estimate by a professional to assess the scope of work and provide you with the best results.
