The Complete Guide to Commercial Roof Maintenance

Property owners know they regularly need lawns cut, landscaping trimmed, and windows washed. But how often do we think about the structure that protects the building and ourselves overhead? Commercial roofs are no different than other parts of your property. They also require regular inspection and care to function at peak performance and last longer than its expected service life.

Adding quarterly costs for commercial roof maintenance to your facility budget is just a fraction of extensive repairs and possible replacement. Here’s everything you need to know about routine maintenance and regular inspection for your commercial roof.

What Is Commercial Roof Maintenance?

Commercial roof maintenance is the periodical inspection and care of all roofing components that could be susceptible to damage and wear over time. Commercial buildings and structures require bi-annual inspections, as potential damages threaten employee safety and could cause possible delays in productivity. Listed below are the most common maintenance services of professional contractors:

  • Clearing up debris
  • Inspecting for and removing animal intrusion
  • Inspecting and maintaining system ventilation to eliminate airflow obstruction
  • Checking piping for cracks and damages
  • Inspecting caulking, potentially adding insulation

The Importance of Roof Maintenance

Investing in regular commercial roof maintenance is a critical component to establishing a healthy lifespan for your surface. Properly installed roofs still need regular inspection and maintenance, especially in Florida, with harmful, year-round UV rays.

Dangers of Avoiding Commercial Roof Maintenance

Commercial property owners and facility managers have many tasks on their agenda. Inspection and maintenance of the overhead structure is often an overlooked aspect, but causes severe ramifications if regular care is neglected. Here are the dangers of avoiding regular inspection and care of your commercial roof.

Voided Warranties

Property owners know that a roofing warranty from a manufacturing company is a valuable asset. But many often overlook the threats of maintenance neglect and how that impacts predetermined warranty conditions. If a professional inspector deems roof damage a direct result of maintenance neglect, your commercial warranty could go out the window with most manufacturers. Facility managers and property owners are held responsible for performing due diligence on behalf of your commercial roof. Neglecting simple fixes like ponding results in an expensive repair from the company budget.

Accelerated Deterioration

Commercial roofs today are built and designed to last for a minimum of 30 years, with advanced systems engineered to stand for 50 to 100 years. By avoiding regular commercial roof maintenance over time, facility managers and property owners risk cutting their roof’s lifespan in half. Since most businesses account for a roof replacement once a generation, facility funds must be reallocated in the budget to finance a premature replacement.

Ponding Water

Tropical weather and storms are a constant looming factor over the heads of property owners and facility managers throughout the state of Florida. Summertime leading into the fall puts a lot of strain on commercial roofs due to high rainfall.

Mold and Mildew Development

If ponding water is a recurring issue with your roofing system, vegetation like mold and mildew develop, rotting the inside of the structural membrane. A major reason to act quickly when you see ponding is that signs of mold and mildew aren’t clear or visible for more than two weeks after growth begins. At this point in development, property owners may have to seek mold removal experts to salvage their internal roofing membrane.

If you notice water buildup 48 hours past the most recent rainfall, your commercial roof is experiencing standing or ponding water. Failure to act quickly and contact professional help make your surface susceptible to extensive and expensive water damage repairs by the minute. Internal clogged drains or stuffed gutters of built-up debris allow ponding water to impact roofing systems.

Providing your property with commercial roof maintenance prolongs system lifespan, reducing costly repairs and replacement over time. Check out how professional contractors like Floridian Roofing and Solar can provide regular inspection and care for your commercial roof.
