• Reduce the risk of toxic mold formation or other biological growth • Avoid insurance cost hikes or cancellation due to multiple water damage claims • Eliminate energy loss and expense due to moist roofing or insulation during both the heating and cooling seasons • Extend roof life by 50% or more, avoiding the cost of premature roof replacement Preventive roof and building maintenance services help save money, avoid headaches, and reduce legal risks for the property owner / manager – all for just pennies per square foot.
SO, EXACTLY WHAT DOES A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM ENTAIL? An effective Preventative Roof Maintenance program should be implemented by a professional roofing contractor and the scope will vary depending upon roof type (sloped, flat, built-up, single ply, etc.) In general, it will include the following regularly scheduled activities: • Visually inspect entire roofing system on an annual basis • Remove all loose debris (Power wash/ air blow as necessary) • Clean out roof accessible drains and gutters • Repair all splits and cracks in roofing material • Build up low areas on flat roofs to minimize ponding • Repair or replace missing or damaged tiles, shingles, or other sloped roof materials • Repair or replace loose or damaged flashings and seals around all roof penetrations • Repair any known leaks • Other roof repairs as needed to ensure a water tight roof. If you hire a qualified, professional roofing or waterproofing contractor to implement a preventive maintenance program for your building, you can rest assured that you will get the maximum life out of your roof with minimal cost and disruption. Your roofing system is an expensive investment that safeguards the building and all of the assets within the building. It pays to protect it and NOW is the best time to start!
