How to Maintain Your Commercial Roof
Not only is routine maintenance of your commercial roof required to preserve the structural integrity of your building, but it also serves to safeguard the warranties on the roofing materials. The best thing you can do to safeguard your commercial roof, ensure it’s in top condition, and increase its longevity is to establish a long-lasting connection with a local, professional roofing company.
In the end, regular commercial roof care raises the building’s and your company’s value. Take these smart steps to maintain your commercial roof and save thousands of dollars in the process.
Schedule Routine Roof Inspections
At least twice a year, you should get your commercial roof inspected. At the end of the rainy season in late spring and then again in the early fall, we prefer to do inspections (before the next storm season commences). This allows us to remove any messes and roofing debris, clear the gutters and downspouts to avoid overflowing and notify you of roofing concerns that require immediate care.
Keep a Close Eye on a Flat Roof Design
Commercial buildings often use flat roof designs. Despite being simple to construct and access, flat roofs are more prone to water gathering and drainage problems, which can result in leaks or slowly growing moisture problems. Without routine care, your flat roof may experience problems that are only discovered when pricey repairs or replacements are the only options available.
Preparation for Storm and Fire Season
More than ever, business owners are aware of the dangers of fire. Reputable roofing contractors are no different. Our responsibility is to monitor your roof and the surrounding area to ensure that your structure is ready for storm and fire season.
This involves advising the trimming of bushes and trees that pose a high risk of fire, choosing water- and fire-resistant roofing materials, and clearing the roof, gutters, and downspouts of accumulated debris so they can drain water and moisture away from the commercial roof structure and foundation.
