Spring/Summer is the Perfect Time for Preventive Roof Maintenance

Your roof is an asset, so it is important that you take a proactive approach to its upkeep.
Weather conditions such as wind, snow, and ice can be tough on your roofing system, but following these springtime preventive maintenance tips will help prolong its service life and reduce total lifecycle costs.
From ground level:
• Walk the perimeter of your building and check the gutters, downspouts, and upper areas of walls to make sure that they are not damaged
On the rooftop:
• Above all, use proper access and protection equipment and extra caution!
• Check the gutters and downpipes to ensure that no debris has gathered.
• Check all of your drains to ensure they are functioning properly. If there is ice build-up in drains, do not aggressively break up the ice with any tools, as this could damage the roofing membrane. Don’t forget to check for missing or damaged strainers.
• Check the counter flashings around walls and curbs, if any exist. To ensure they are fully seated.
• Check the seam areas and flashings to see if ice or snow movement has caused damage to the seams.
• Check for any accumulated debris.
