Regular maintenance is important for the health and longevity of your commercial roofing system. By detecting and addressing any issues before they worsen, you can avoid costly repairs and maximize your roof’s lifespan.
Today, local commercial roofer Done-Right Roofing & Sheet Metal, Ltd. discusses what your commercial roof maintenance plan should include.
Commercial roofing systems take a beating during the winter, which is why roof inspections should be conducted before and after winter. Doing so helps determine the roof’s overall condition and address underlying problems before they have a chance to worsen. Repairing problems when they’re still minor is much cheaper than waiting for them to escalate and cause serious damage.
A functional commercial roofing drainage system directs precipitation into the gutters and away from the property. Make sure that your gutters are free from debris at all times to prevent clogs. Clean the roof regularly and trim nearby trees to prevent branches from falling onto the roof and causing damage to the roof surface.
Prompt repairs are a vital part of any preventive commercial roof maintenance plan. Certain roofing components are more vulnerable to wear and tear, including the field membrane, flashings and attic insulation. Make sure any deficiencies are repaired as soon as possible to prevent more costly damage.
Finally, make sure to budget effectively for your commercial roof maintenance plan. In addition to the cost of professional inspections and routine maintenance, set aside a contingency fund for unexpected repairs. This way you won’t be caught off guard.
