While the lifespan of many commercial roofing systems vary from one material and manufacturer to another, there are several other factors that can extend or shorten this number. As a property owner, it’s important to be familiar with these factors to get the most value out of your commercial roof.
It goes without saying that roofs are an important part of any building. Problems like leaks can easily set you back hundreds or thousands of dollars in repairs. This is in addition to the potential damage your tenants and their properties might also incur. Here are a few good practices to keep your commercial roof in good shape for longer.
Regular preventive maintenance is essential to spot roofing problems before they become serious. However, it can be challenging to keep track of your appointments. Talk to your local roofing contractor about regular maintenance agreements that will automatically take care of your roof at set schedules every year. Some programs even include seasonal inspections to get your roof ready for changing seasons.
As a property owner, you have access to your roof more than your roofing professional. This gives you a unique advantage when it comes to identifying common issues. Familiarize yourself with how pooling water problems look and the signs that could lead to it. Know the visible signs of a deteriorating flashing. Keep an eye out for holes or other puncture marks on your roofing membrane. Give your roof a weekly visual inspection to make sure that everything is in great condition.
Don’t hesitate to call your local roofer as soon as you see the first signs of a problem. Some roofing issues can actually worsen over time, which can lead to more expensive repairs in the future. Make sure you don’t delay any necessary fixes to avoid a premature roof replacement.
