Preventive Roof Maintenance

The roof is one of the biggest and most valuable assets for any facility and taking proper care of it is crucial to its longevity. Studies have shown that routine preventive maintenance can not only save costs, but it can also extend a roof’s useful life by several years. By proactively inspecting the roof and performing minor repairs and housekeeping, you can drastically reduce the number of commercial roof leaks your facility experiences. That reactive cycle of leaks and repairs is costly, disruptive, and stressful.

Warranty Protection with Preventive Maintenance

If reducing leaks isn’t motivating enough to start preventive maintenance, check your roof’s warranty. Most warranties come with terms and conditions re: inspections and commercial roof maintenance requirements. Ignoring these recommendations can default your warranty coverage. Simon Roofing provides customized preventive maintenance programs and solutions to help keep your commercial roof protected and in good standing with your current warranty.

Commercial Roof Inspections

The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends two professional commercial roof inspections per year – generally in the autumn and in the spring depending on your climate. In addition, roof inspections should be performed after any significant weather event to quickly identify debris, wind and hail damage, and more. 

Simon Roofing performs 60-point inspections that identify common roof issues. In addition to these visual inspections, we also offer our more extensive SR PreVision inspection and analysis program that goes beyond visual inspections to collect scientific data from the roof for predictive modeling and intervention methods.

Custom Commercial Roof Maintenance Services

Simon Roofing offers tailored commercial roof maintenance services to fit your budget and your warranty requirements. These preventive maintenance plans can also be customized for your facility’s individual requirements like environmental concerns. For example, facilities with nearby bodies of water require more attention because of the moisture in the air, increased bird and insect activity, salt accumulation, and more. Facilities with large trees nearby need to be monitored more closely for debris and clogged gutters, downspouts, and drains.

In general, preventive maintenance programs should cover the following items:

  • Membrane repairs, including minor splits, tears, breaks, open laps, fractured blisters
  • Repair/seal flashings and details like coping and expansion joints, loose equipment, storm collars and vent stacks, etc.
  • Secure and repair drains, gutters, and scuppers
  • Remove debris, including leaves, branches, garbage, and even obsolete equipment or materials left behind by another contractor
