Our Storm Zone program provides pre and post-storm assessments as well as emergency response to ensure your facilities are back up and running as quickly as possible. Program services are available through Garland/DBS, Inc. and also through many of the company’s cooperative purchasing programs, including OMNIA® Partners and Premier. Contact your local rep to learn more.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before the Storm
- Determine if the existing manufacturer/contractor warranty is still valid to potentially lessen the financial burden.
- Identify any leaks and determine if they can be temporarily repaired ahead of the storm.
- Complete a comprehensive roof and exterior wall system inspection and assessment to ensure your building enclosure is as secure as possible.
- Establish performance expectations at pre-negotiated rates for disaster response.
After the Storm
- Assess the severity of weather-related damage to the building’s exterior.
- Conduct an infrared or nuclear moisture scan of the roof to identify any “below the roof” issues.
- Use Garland’s Comprehensive Laboratory Effective Analysis Reporting Program (CLEAR™) to conduct a roof sample assessment analysis.
- Determine if a temporary emergency roof solution is needed to minimize interior damage.
- Input roof and exterior wall inspection data into Garland’s Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP®).
- Provide report with analysis of existing conditions, emergency needs and long-term solutions.
