No matter what type of roof you have on your commercial building, if you don’t give it the attention it needs, costly problems are bound to arise.
Leaks, blow-offs, blistering, shrinkage, standing water – there are a wide range of potential headaches ready to strike any property owner who fails to maintain his roof. The good news is that, with a smart investment in preventative roofing maintenance, these and other issues can be avoided cost effectively.
It’s important to have your roof inspected twice annually — ideally during the fall and spring. The inspection should include checking the drains for blockage, the flashings for gaps and tears, the vents to ensure they’re sealed and for any signs of damage.
Whenever you notice damage to your roof, it’s important to have it repaired quickly. This includes cracks, holes, leaks, etc. This will typically be found during the inspection, but make sure to keep an eye out for abnormalities in between inspections.Protecting your roof from UV rays is important because it is a culprit for rooftop damage that can lead to cracks and leaks.
If you have an older building, you might want to make testing a part of your preventative maintenance plan this year.
Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in regular maintenance avoids the higher costs and disruptions associated with major repairs or replacements. It also ensures that your roof remains efficient, potentially reducing energy costs.
Benefits include prolonged roof life, prevention of costly repairs, improved roof performance, and peace of mind knowing your roof is in good condition.
