Roof Maintenance |
When was the last time you walked your roofs? If you do not have a scheduled spring and fall inspection with a minimum of cleaning roof surfaces, drains and gutters, your roofing system could be in trouble. Over 90% of roof leaks and system failures occur at the roof detail; a wall, metal edges, drains, and other roof-mounted equipment. Proper identification of these problems in a timely manner is essential to preventing replacement and extending the life of your roof.
Begin your roof maintenance program by
-
Retaining a record of your roof’s maintenance services with your contractor and a second copy up on the roof (out of the weather in a roof hatch, for example).
-
Keeping a checklist of conditions to look for during inspections and creating a reference file outlining what was and was not observed.
-
Scheduling routine inspections and maintenance work to prolong the life of your roof system and, reveal areas that have the potential to create costly repairs if not corrected.
