Roof Maintenance Tips for Property Managers
While the roof is a significant investment, it can be one of the most neglected areas of a building. Regular roof maintenance will help ensure your commercial property is protected against weather extremes. It will also save you on costly repair bills.
Proper Drainage
Debris from surrounding trees can settle in the gutters and downspouts, causing strain on the roof’s structure. While roofs are made to resist water and other elements, water buildup can cause issues for your roofing system. Hire a professional to regularly clean gutters, drains, valleys, pipes and skylights.
Inspection After Repairs
Mechanical equipment is usually located on the roof. Make sure that the roof is treated with care. Inspect the area after an equipment repair or installation. Dropped tools or walking on the roof can result in roof damage. Detect these problems as soon as possible to prevent major issues in the future.
Location & Climate
Modify your maintenance plan according to your climate. For instance, the South experiences thunderstorms that can cause sudden temperature drops. Heavy rain and humidity can result in mold growth. Direct sunlight can weaken sealants. Moreover, wind, rain and snow can cause leaks and structural damage.
