A roof system is arguably the most vulnerable part of a building’s exterior. Ultraviolet radiation, wind, rain, hail, heat, and sleet all affect a roof system’s performance.

Performance is based on good design, quality materials, proper installation, and a preventive-maintenance program. Preventative Roof maintenance is critical to preventing commercial roof problems and keeping the roof in a watertight condition. Early identification and repair of roof problems will help provide a long-lasting roof system.

Roof maintenance should be performed regularly by a certifed, licensed commercial roofing company and trained roofing professionals, preferably on a biannual basis (once in the spring and once in the fall). Early problem detection makes repairs manageable before they become serious. A procedure whereby this is done routinely and recorded in writing should be established.

A preventative maintenance checklist is a useful tool for roofing professionals to use when documenting roof conditions. The checklist should be tailored to each roof’s specific requirements.

Many warranties have direct or indirect exclusions based on lack of maintenance. If yearly or biannual maintenance is not performed and documented, damage from water intrusion may be excluded if it is determined that the leakage could have been prevented with typical maintenance.

It is important for Califonria building owners to retain a professional roofing contractor (preferably the contractor that installed the system) to perform roof maintenance. If building personnel decide to tackle a roof system problem, their actions may void a warranty. In addition, repairs made by an unauthorized contractor will likely void a warranty.

The money that building owners think is being saved by not performing regular maintenance will likely be spent in larger quantities when it becomes necessary to repair or prematurely replace the roof system. The cost of a single day of maintenance is minimal compared to the cost of removing and replacing the entire roof system.
