How To Get the Best Out of Your Commercial Roof
While all business owners want to save money wherever they can, neglecting to care for a commercial roof by not having it inspected on a regular basis, and repaired when necessary, is the quickest way to blow your budget and end up spending money that could easily have been saved. To get the best out of your commercial roof and avoid costly repair bills further down the line, try following these three top tips:
1. Always have your roof installed and repaired by pros While this is too late for those business owners who already have a roof, for those who are currently having a structure built, or need to have their roof replaced, it’s essential that you choose the right contractors for the job. What your commercial roof is constructed from will impact its durability and performance, but ultimately, it’s often how its installed that can have the biggest long term impact. When having a new commercial roof installed, you’ll need to find a local company with flat roof experience, so that they understand what products will work best, what equipment to use and most importantly, how to install it properly.
2. Never neglect inspections Commercial roofing experts recommend that flat roof systems be inspected by a professional roofing company at least twice a year, and ideally, following any major weather event such as a tornado or big storm. In between professional inspections, business owners should also carry out their own visual checks to make sure that everything is in order with the roof; is the drainage system flowing freely, are the roof seams and metal components secure and fully watertight? Just by doing this every month, you could prevent having to spend part of your valuable budget on costly repairs.
3. Manage roof traffic correctly Commercial flat roof systems will inevitably experience a certain degree of footfall, whether from HVAC inspections or repairs, running cables up there, clearing debris and any number of other tasks. While these tasks might be essential, it’s equally important to insure that the roof isn’t being damaged in the process, and the installation of low-cost, compatible walk pads on logical pathways across the roof and around penetrations, can be helpful. You might even consider asking a roofing technician to be present should any work be going on up on the flat roof, just to make sure no damage is caused.
Commercial flat roofing systems can last for many years if protected and preserved correctly, and this usually means investing a little time and money into regular maintenance, of which your local roofing contractor will doubtless be happy to help you with.
