Preventative Roof Maintenance on your property is one of the best ways to combat premature failures, voided warranties, and costly replacements. By performing inspections once a quarter or two a year, will allow you to catch any potential problems before they happen. Also, this process will give you a better idea on the state of your roof and plan.
1. Removing debris such as leaves, branches, dirt and trash from gutters, scuppers, downspouts, and drains to ensure proper water drainage.
2. Keeping metal roof components such as flashings, expansion joints and pitch pockets in good working condition by replacing deteriorated sealants, painting rust, and making necessary repairs.
3. Maintaining rooftop equipment (e.g., satellite dishes, solar panels, air conditioners, skylights) and checking the roof after equipment service calls and repairs to make sure the roof wasn't accidentally damaged in the process.
4. Repairing roof coatings and membranes damaged by spilled oils, grease, coolants, and other liquids.
5. Minimizing roof traffic by authorized personnel and installing walkway pads in high-traffic areas.
6. Roof Scans and infrared inspections.
During this series, we will detail each of these preventative items.
