Michigan, including the Detroit metropolitan area, experiences a continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. The state's location near the Great Lakes also contributes to significant snowfall and frequent rain events throughout the year.
For polycarbonate roof panels in Michigan, the primary concerns are the effects of heavy snow accumulation and the freeze-thaw cycles common in winter. Ice dams can form, leading to water backing up under panels, and the weight of snow can stress the structural integrity. Our inspection process in the Detroit area involves checking for panel cracks, seal deterioration, and potential water ingress points caused by these conditions. We assess the entire system's ability to handle Michigan's weather.
Our approach to repairing polycarbonate roof panels is to provide durable, functional solutions. We begin with a detailed on-site assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of leaks or damage.
