Commercial Roof Maintenance

Routine commercial roof maintenance and inspections are essential to detecting minor damage early and avoiding a premature failure. Failure to maintain your roof can lead to costly and time-consuming roof replacement. Some roofs require more maintenance than others. Business owners and facility managers should know whether their building has a concrete, EPDM, BUR, mod-bit, CSPE, PVC, TPO, wood, or another roofing system. Unfortunately, roofs don’t always get the attention they need until a roof leaks.  Water leaking inside your building is a serious issue. It often means that moisture has seeped through the membrane, down through the roof deck, which is one of the most common causes of a premature roof replacement.

Roof Inspection

Many roof issues can be avoided with periodic roof inspections.  Commercial buildings in Florida should have roof inspections twice yearly: After winter to ensure the roofing system is prepared for our hot and humid summer weather and our infamous hurricane season. Then another review should be performed immediately after hurricane season to check for any signs of roof damage.

Commercial Roof Maintenance Tips

Although your commercial roof may have a 10, 20, or even 30-year lifespan, many roofing systems in Florida require replacement up to 50% sooner. Without routine roof maintenance, the damaging effects from frequent heavy rains, humidity, UV radiation, and gusty winds that can cause ponding, corrosion, cracking or splitting. These and other issues often go unnoticed until more severe roof damage occurs. Here are six essential tips for commercial roof maintenance:

• Inspect the roof immediately following a tropical storm or other significant weather events.
• Repair roof damage without delay.
• Keep trees trimmed, so leaves and branches don’t hang over the roof.
• Check to ensure water is not ponding or pooling on the roof surface.
• Clean the roof surface at least once a year
• Protect the entire roofing system with an energy-efficient acrylic elastomeric roof coating.
