How to Keep Your Commercial Roof in Its Best Shape
Maintaining your commercial roof doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require consistency. Here are some best practices for keeping your roof in excellent shape:
Schedule Biannual Inspections
Have your roof inspected at least twice a year, preferably in spring and fall. This helps identify any seasonal wear, storm damage, or developing issues before they escalate.
Keep It Clean
Debris such as leaves, branches, and trash can trap moisture, clog drains, and lead to membrane deterioration. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and drainage problems.
Maintain Drainage Systems
Ensure gutters, downspouts, and internal drains are clear and functioning. Ponding water is one of the most common causes of premature roof failure on flat and low-slope systems.
Address Minor Repairs Promptly
Small issues like punctures, cracks, or open seams can quickly become large leaks. Prompt attention to minor repairs saves time and money down the road.
Monitor Interior Signs
Water stains, mold growth, or musty odors inside your building often point to roof issues. Do not ignore what is happening inside, it could reflect problems above.
Keep Roof Access Controlled
Limit foot traffic and ensure only trained personnel or roofing professionals access the roof. Improper walking or equipment placement can cause avoidable damage.
