Roof Maintenance at your Facility

Understanding the importance of regular testing and maintenance is vital to keep clients’ buildings safe and secure. Generally, a flat roof solution such as PVC or felt should last between 20 and 30 years if regular testing and maintenance are carried out.

Roof maintenance is critically important in ensuring the building’s internal environment remains safe and unharmed. Regular cleaning and repair work on the roof of all buildings is essential to maintaining the integrity of the building and avoiding costly damage down the line.

Annual cleaning of a building’s roof is important to keep it free of debris such as leaves, branches, and dirt. Over time, this debris can build up and cause water to pool, leading to water damage and leaks. Regular cleaning can prevent this from happening and extend the life of your roof. Furthermore, you must annually clean and service your roof to comply with insurance and warranties.

In addition to cleaning, regular inspections and repairs are also important. Issues that may seem minor initially, such as a slight hole in the roof material, can quickly escalate into a major problem if not resolved. Water can seep through the tiniest of cracks or rips in roof material, leading to water ingress damage and potentially compromising the structural integrity of your building.

Select Access can identify potential holes, damages, and porosity in the roof using spark testing to identify these issues early, leading to a prompt repair before the damage becomes severe.

Another benefit of regular roof maintenance is energy efficiency. A well-maintained roof with no leaks or damage can help regulate the temperature inside your building and reduce the need for heating and cooling systems to work harder than necessary. This can result in significant energy savings over time.

Regular roof maintenance with Select Access can also help you avoid costly repairs or even a complete roof replacement. While annual maintenance may seem like an additional expense, it is much more cost-effective than waiting until major damage has occurred. Regular maintenance can help identify potential issues before they become more serious, allowing you to address them promptly and avoid more expensive repairs down the line.
