Commercial Roof Maintenance
A Commercial Roof Maintenance Program will detect any potential threats to your commercial roofing system.
Our comprehensive maintenance plan is the best and most economical way to extend the life of your commercial roof.
A well-maintained roof will last many years past its initial warranty period and every savvy building owner understands that delaying roof replacement as long as possible frees up money that can be used for other expenditures. Experienced building owners who need to get the most out of their roof investment realize that regular roof maintenance is simply an integral part of a fiscally responsible facility plan.
What’s the Best Time for Commercial Roof Maintenance?
Ideally, a commercial roof should be inspected a minimum of twice per year, usually in the spring and fall. Most commercial roofing system warranties have specific maintenance guidelines that must be followed in order to keep the warranty in effect. In some cases, enrolling in a qualified commercial roof maintenance plan can actually extend your warranty.
Preventative Commercial Roof Maintenance Practices
In addition to regular inspections, warranty maintenance, and general repairs, there are a few things building owners and managers can do to extend the service life of their commercial roof. All workers who have access to the roof should follow general precautions, including:
- No smoking on the roof
- Walking only on designated walk paths and pads
- Clearing drain clogs regularly and promptly when needed
- No leaving tools or other items on the roof
Commercial Roof Maintenance Documentation
Keeping accurate and thorough records of your commercial roof’s history is an integral part of a successful commercial roof maintenance plan. It’s nice to keep both a digital copy and a hard copy of all the necessary documents, including the original roof specs, shop drawings and proposals, daily construction reports, manufacturer’s roofing system product sheets, warranty documents and records of all roof changes, modifications, and repairs.
Initial Roof Survey for a Commercial Roof Maintenance Plan
An initial comprehensive commercial roof survey, including an energy audit analysis, provides a solid foundation at the start of a new Commercial Roof Maintenance Program. The survey should feature a detailed report of the roof’s current condition, the age and size of the roof, and the type of roofing system present. Any factor that influences the existing or future condition of the roof, including the location and type of access portals, the number and placement of paths, prevailing environmental factors, and building use, are all-valuable for establishing a successful maintenance plan.
