Superior Construction

Regular maintenance is essential to preventing roof leaks and extending the lifespan of your commercial roofing system. Keep in mind, however, that improper maintenance is just as bad as neglecting to maintain your roof. The commercial roofing contractors at Superior Construction Co. list below the mistakes you need to avoid to make the most of commercial roofing maintenance:

1. Neglecting Roofing Insulation

Ensuring your commercial roof has adequate insulation helps keep indoor temperatures at a comfortable level and lower heating and cooling costs. What many don’t know is that it also helps extend your roof’s lifespan. If your roof doesn’t have enough insulation, heat can escape through the gaps in insulation and prematurely age your roof.  

2. Putting Off Repairs

Left unattended, leaks and other forms of moisture damage can affect other parts of your building, which is why putting off repairs just doesn’t make practical or financial sense. The sooner a leak is fixed, the better. 

3. Infrequent Maintenance

It’s important to adhere to a commercial roofing maintenance routine. That’s because it takes some time for certain warning signs of roof damage to emerge. By the time they emerge, it’s usually too late to mitigate damage. Through routine inspections, commercial and residential roofing contractors can detect and fix roofing issues before they affect other parts of the building. 

One more thing: As a rule of thumb, you should have a professional roofer inspect your roof after an extreme weather event. No matter how durable your roof is, it’s bound to have suffered some form of damage after an extreme weather event.
