As a building owner, paying for continued roof maintenance may seem like a heavy and unnecessary burden to your budget. It may be difficult to see any value in having your roof system inspected on a regular basis. After all, if the roof was installed properly in the first place and has a warranty, why would there be any need to spend money on annual roof inspections?
The reality is that even the best low-slope roof installations will likely require some maintenance and/or repairs over the course of their service life. And most roof system warranties require some degree of maintenance to remain intact.
Over time, seams can fail, drains can become clogged with debris, and punctures can occur. Failing to identify simple repairs like these in a timely manner can have dire consequences for your long-term operating budget.
The following is a summary of the value of regular roof maintenance inspections
- Ensuring all requirements are met to maintain the roof system warranty
- Extend the service life of the roof system up to 50%
- Identify and resolve small issues before they turn into major repairs or premature replacements
- Adequate budget for roof-related expenses long-term
- Save money, time, and headaches through accomplishing the above
At the end of the day, paying for routine inspections is a small cost to pay for peace of mind in knowing that the investment you made in a new roof system is going to provide you with the most value possible.
