Maintenance is important in keeping commercial roofing systems in top shape, and there’s no better time to do it than spring, with weather conditions highly favorable for roof leak repair. To make the most of your efforts at caring for your roof, however, there are some tips you should keep in mind.
Do It Regularly
Roofing maintenance’s best benefit is that it lets you identify problems early, allowing you to take action before it worsens or even begins. You’ll only reap this benefit, however, when you have roofing maintenance done regularly. A bi-annual check works most of the time but you should also schedule a commercial roofing inspection after severe weather hits your area.
Document Records Properly
Records are great because they give your commercial roofer an idea of what your roof’s overall condition is before they begin. This will also clue them in on which areas need rechecking, especially spots that are particularly prone to roofing damage. Properly documenting maintenance work will also come in handy when you need to file a roofing insurance claim for storm damage restoration.
Limit Foot Traffic
A lot of commercial roofs are flat, making it easy to walk on them. However, foot traffic should be limited in all types of commercial roofing because this is one way you can keep wear and tear to a minimum. This will also help your maintenance efforts by letting you avoid unnecessary damage.
