Commercial building owners need to make sure the keep their building safe and in good condition. The roofing system is a major part of this. Neglecting a roof is a quick way to end up with serious damage and big expenses. You can avoid this with regular inspections and identify potential problems before they become dangerous and expensive.

 

To get the most out of your commercial roofing system, you need to make it a priority and there are several things you can do maintain a long lasting roof. You also need to make sure there are not things you are currently doing that could be damaging your roof.

 

1. Missing annual inspections: Keeping up with regular inspections for commercial roofing is the best way to avoid serious damage. You can identify potential problems early and you can plan for future repairs to prevent scrambling at the last minute to come up with finances. You can also save the building from serious damage by catching damage early.
2. Forgetting maintenance: Regular roof maintenance is just as essential as inspections. Small problems can quickly turn into larger ones, but with regular maintenance you can prevent this. By preventing general degradation and keeping the roof maintained at all times, it will last longer.
3. Ignoring storms: You should always be checking the roof after any storm or severe weather changes. Winds can tear away materials as well as throw items against the roof causing tears. Leaves and other debris can clog gutters and drains causing water to puddle on the roof, which can easily cause leaks.
4. Hiring the wrong contractor: It is important to hire a roofing contractor that has experience and training with commercial roofing. They must also be insured and licensed within the trade. Be sure to do some research and collect estimates and don’t just hire the cheapest.
5. Doing nothing: Saving things to the last minute is never a good idea when it comes to roofing. Completely having to replace a roof is costly, but with regular maintenance and inspections, you can get the most of your roof and avoid a costly replacement.
