Extend Your Commercial Roof’s Life with These Maintenance Tips

 

Commercial roofing systems are designed to last as long as possible. However, that doesn't mean commercial roofing materials are completely invincible. A commercial roofing system can outlast its life expectancy, but they need proper maintenance for it. 

Here are some maintenance tips to extend your commercial roof's lifespan;

Redo The Finish Every Few Years

If your commercial building has metal roofing, you probably have a 40-year warranty for it. However, it can easily last more than 50 years. You'd need to ensure that it's protected against water damage. The finish on your metal roof protects the metal from being exposed to water and other elements. To keep your metal roof protected, hire a roofing service provider and redo the finish if it starts to come off.

Trim Tree Branches Touching You Roof

If a tree branch touches your roof, the friction can remove the finish, exposing the metal and causing it to deteriorate. You'll have to replace the entire panel even if there's little damage. Hence, it's best to trim any branches touching your roof. This will be easier than redoing the finish again and again.

Keep Your Gutters Maintained

Gutters provide passage for the water that flows down from your roofing. However, if they're clogged, they may overflow. Inspect and clean your gutters regularly to prevent this. If your gutters keep getting clogged, you may need to call a professional roofer for gutter repairs.

Hire A Roof Inspection Every Year

No matter what roofing system you have, it is susceptible to one source of deterioration or another. Often you can't tell if your roofing is damaged just by looking at it. Once the damage starts, it only grows the longer it's left unattended.
