Save Money With Preventive Maintenance
Canadian winters are harsh on your roof. The 2018-2019 winter season has been a challenging one for roofing contractors and commercial owners. Heavy rain, snowfall, and other winter effects can severely damage your commercial roof. It is common to only notice damage to your roof when you notice a leak. By then, the damage has been done, and you will likely need to pay for your roof to be repaired, restored or replaced.
Canada Roofs offers roof inspections and maintenance to support you in the dry months so you are prepared for the rain storms. “Better safe than sorry” is the safest policy. Preventive maintenance is not expensive and will pay for itself many times over in the repair costs it saves you. Here are some common ways that we can save repair costs with preventive maintenance.
1. Poorly Sealed Penetrations
Most commercial roofs have quite a few penetrations leading from the building to the roof, such as vents and pipes. If these are not properly sealed, your roof is at risk of small to severe leaking. This is a particularly costly issue because of the repair costs to the roof but also to the corroded or rusted pipe or vent. In many cases, these components will often need to be repaired. As part of an inspection, Canada Roods will check these penetrations and make sure that they are well-sealed.
2. Torn or Damaged Roof Flashing
Your roof has many penetrations, projections, joints and intersections where membrane overlap or where turns or corners apply. These are sealed with roof flashings, which are typically made of a high-quality weather-resistant metal, such as galvanized steel. However, after years of exposure to the weather, there is a good chance that your flashings could be damaged, resulting in leaks and damage. A roof inspection can uncover this damage before it becomes too problematic.
3. Damaged and Blocked Drains
If your commercial roof does not have proper drainage, water will pool on your roof. This is a sure recipe for a damaged roof – just a few centimeters of water can increase the load on your roof.
Commercial roofs are built with drains and downspouts that provide a way for water to flow off your roof. However, especially in the fall and winter, these drains and downspouts are prone to blockages from leaves, ice, and the like. Your roof repair company can inspect and clean out your drains, solving this problem and saving you from having to get a leak repaired later.
